I was in Monroe, so I thought I would take a peek at the Skykomish River. The news said mild to moderate flooding. Not nearly as bad as the rivers both to the north and south of us. I have seen our yard with more water just last year.
First I stopped by the Library to see if there was anything down the ravine. There was more than I expected.
Then I stopped by the road to the new off leash doggie park in Monroe.
The doggie park is on the other side of the building in the distance.
After seeing all this I was curious so I went by the Lewis street park which is on Hwy 203 to Duvall. (which is closed before you get to Duvall).
The trial here goes down to a nice grassy park and some winding trails connecting into Al Borlin Park. This is Woods Creek, with the Skykomish river in the background.
I thought I was done, but had to stop by the Monroe Motel when I noticed the water in Woods Creek jumped the levy.
Shortly after we moved here they had replaced the bridge over the creek here.
Thank goodness, I doubt we could have gotten to town with the old bridge. Doesn't look like a nice meandering creek now does it!
