When water meets rock, water always wins. (Think the grand canyon) Today many Washington State residents are dealing with the aftermath of record snowfalls followed by days of very heavy rain. Here in Maple Valley, the Cedar River is swollen and raging like I haven't seen in the 14 years I've lived here. Many homes have flooded and I've been told emergency evacuations are going on down the road from my office. I hope everyone is safe and or soon will be!
This was what greated me on my way to work this morning:
Road Closed on Highway 169 to Cedar Grove Rd due to evacuations
King County Sheriff's Vehicles (one with a jet ski on trailer). These homes are behind the Grange on Maple Valley Highway.
A view from the other side of the bridge.
My son lives on the Cedar River and fortunately his house has not flooded. According to King 5 meteorologist, the Cedar has likely crested and should begin to receded. Which is good.
I'm scheduled to show riverfront property to a client flying in tonight.
Think I'll wear boots.
