December and New Year Coming

Here in Western Washington we had 
record amount of rain and flooding 
that we had never seen or heard 
about before.

Seattle and where I live on the
Olympic Peninsula didn't have
flood though the outskirts of
Seattle and north up to the
Canadian border did so. 

Sunss where I go over the border
to visit my cousins in British 
Columbia had flooding across
the road so couldn't get into
Canada at that point. 

The Green and White River flooded
so much the citizens of the area
had to be evacuated. This included
Tukwila which is very close to Seattle 
and near Boeing Field too. 

I am not sure how much rain came
down however it was likely at least
half of the yearly rainfall in about
ten days. Millions of dollars damaged
happened. It certainly was a good time 
for travelers to come.

My area had no damage though the
tides were high. Often we have drainage
issues in the shopping centers here
but not this time so things must have
been fixed. Shopping centers in those
areas of flooding were not so lucky 
as well as at least two dozens rivers.
For that period the temperatures
were higher than normal in the 
mountains too. Fortunately now the
temperatured have gone down with 
enough snow too. A few highways were
damaged where they will be out of
commission for a while.

Travel to Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula 
is fine if you don't mind some rainfall 
continue to happen. We could get some
snow in January and February too.
That is what's happening here. 

This is highway 2 near Tumwater Washington 

I am starting to make slime travel plans for 2026. I hope you do too.
