PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

This.

Pictures/videos mostly do it for me for the general "here's what the river looks like" in flood situations. But for some reason a fully cranking waterfall is deeply fascinating to see/hear in person.

From what I've seen on social media, Snoqualmie Falls is really cookin'. I'd love to see it in person, but it's too far a drive. If I still lived in Issaquah, I'd check it out for sure.

There’s all sorts of road closures and traffic in the area.
And someone sent me some AI garbage of Snoqualmie Falls that is supposedly making the rounds. It was disturbingly close but clearly not actually the Falls.
 
the most damaging conditions I've witnessed was on a rare nexus when a polar freeze moved in right behind an atmospheric river event on the coast. Half an inch of ice on the roads, literally could not drive on them even with a 4x4, prolonged power outage, hundreds of trees buckled around the county from the accumulated ice weight, roofs collapsed, all roads out of town closed for two days, the run on generators after kept my electrician neighbor busy for months with his crew installing transfer switches.
Looks like another system coming your way next week, hopefully with less of an impact.

We usually have video uploads turned off because it is a common porn/spammer sort of thing to take advantage of on a site like ours. And so many folks upload to YT or social media and then just embed that post here that it hasn't been a commonly requested feature.

But if you're interested, I can turn uploads on for a bit so you can add your video. Happy to do so!

Welp sounds like it washed out. They'll have it fixed again by 2045.

There’s washouts and there’s Washouts.
Hopefully it’s not as bad as last time. Up closer to Galena there are some real rock slide prone areas. I hope it’s a matter of clearing debris, not moving a whole half mile or so of road due to a channel avulsion.

Looks like another road blowout on the NF SKY. Above where the repairs were made but shit that sucks. Closed from 2006-2024 and then who knows when this one will get fixed with all the budget cuts everywhere. Yikes.

Dang. Never managed to get on the NF Sky in my kayak before moving away for a few years. Saw the blowout in 2006 and figured it'd be back in shape by the time I moved back in '09, and didn't hop on it back in '24 because life had gotten busy and I wanted to get properly tuned-up before running that stretch of river. Absolutely beautiful piece of water. Maybe in 2043....
 


This logjam is having a detrimental effect on the Humpkin run...
 
All I can say is GOOD LUCK out there.

Been involved with every weather event of consequence except flooding. Not looking to check that box.
