    From what I have heard, the subdivision that was hit early Sunday morning, was most likely still occupied.

    You can see the road layout for the subdivision in the before photo. The subdivision was under construction and alot of the missing are the construction crews.

    Is it just me or is there evidence of a previous slide in that before picture?

    It's Snohomish County. When I lived in Seattle, you could count on every spring seeing what seemed to be the same Snohomish residents, standing in the middle of flooded fields and streets telling the reporter "Well, it flooded last year, and the year before, but we didn't think it would flood again".

    Barker Res. is still full from the Sept. flooding. The res. has to be at least 1/3 empty before spring run off.

    We are looking at a 30-90 day flood watch.
    I work with Boulder County Emergency Radio services. At our annual meting few weeks ago, the head of the Boulder County EOC aid that we were at 120% of average snowpack and 100% of the waterways in the county were damaged by the floods. We are expecting a busy spring, especially if we have a rapid melt.

    Same thing I'm hearing.

    Sounds like this area slides about every 10 years. The county still accepts building permits and lets them build. The before pic was about a 150' slide. The latest was 600'.

    Your post reminded me of all those Californians that build on top of a cliff and then are on the news... "Well when we built here we had no idea the erosion would continue and gravity would drag our house to the bottom.
