The Snohomish River is treating us to a right and proper flood today. I've seen the river higher, but this is still a gulley washer. The sawmill across the river was running when I took this shot, but it should be mentioned that they have all their equipment raised up on stilts and away from the usual sorts of annoying high water events that they have to live with all the time.
You can see the walkway handrail to the right. I've seen it so that the handrail in this view was entirely covered with water. So, it still has several more feet to rise to better my personal high water mark.
Is the water moving quickly like it did a couple of years ago, or just high and gentle? We should head over to check it out. Always exciting to stand on the banks, or what's left of them, and gaze down at Nature's work.
