Some excellent reporting on how a weather disaster unfold and how it impacts people and services. Worth a read.
When the levee breaks... I still can barely comprehend the amount of water coming down the Skagit, and I have been through many floods. Gnarly ones. Just... its almost like not having an anchor or frame of reference.
Everyone living in the Skagit County floodplain has now been asked to evacuate. Estimates have placed that number close to 75,000 people.
Gov. Bob Ferguson said the Skagit River is expected to crest around 4 a.m. Thursday at 46 feet. The previous record was 42 feet.

Still true to Roddenberry’s world view.
Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Just another afternoon in the life of a cargo bike mom. Dropping off a package, then delivering kid 1’s scooter to school so he can ride home. A quick stop at the neighborhood pharmacy, then a race to see who will get home first: Kid 2 or me.
