Looks like the Pac NW is getting hammered with some record high rainfall...how will this affect areas already considered for repair of washouts from seasons past? Will new studies be required, will new washouts mean reconsideration of fixing previous ones?

Hard to say what the damage will be, but from the reports I'm getting, this could be even worse than the fall 2003 floods. Nothing from trails, of course, but stream flows on a lot of rivers are really high, and these are many of the same conditions we saw in 2003: heavy sustained windfall, warm temperatures. And add to that some gusting high winds. Not pretty.

Mooky soil + rainfall = cross-cutting workparties.
I'll oil up my saws, Hank Longfellow and The Li'l Bucker.
With the budgets constantly being cut, I don't know how the SP, NPS & FS, etc are going to keep up.

KOMO 4 reports that
"The mountains have already seen 10-12" since Friday and another 4-6" is expected on top of that through Tuesday morning."
And it's across the Cascades, whereas in 2003 the worst of it was focused on the Darrington area.
Job security for trail maintenance organizations, I guess.

I don't know what all the fuss is about with this supposed "rainstorm".  We've had barely a sprinkle all day in Lynnwood. Hardly enough to water the lawn, let alone cause flooding. It's pretty weird, since we are usually in the convergence zone rainshower area. But from looking at the weather radar images several times today, hardly any rain fell on this immediate area. 90% of the day it was not raining at all, and it was just light sprinkles when it did.

I guess that means you need to hit Sunset and Eagle Falls along with Snoqualmie. Your honor depends on it.
