Mukilteo Musings

Mudslides


Buchanan, Everett Herald

Now I know why the helicopter was hovering yesterday. This slide is on my block just eight houses away from me. Yikes!! And this was the front page headline story in the Everett Herald this morning. We never did want to own a house on that side of the street. We are back a little way but perched on a deep gully called Big Gulch. If our back yard slides, it will hit a level spot on our property not very far down and our house isn't in any danger. In fact, we'd get more area to landscape. Maybe. Hopefully.

They say our ground is completely saturated because of day after day of rain and winter has just begun.
