Teenagers and senior citizens might seem like they don't have a lot in common: different generations, different technology, different language. But one teacher in Skagit County bridged the divide by putting teenagers and senior citizens in a room together so they could learn from one another.

Another Skagit Spring Classic completed. I've been doing this ride every spring for about the last 15 years. The routes go through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Puget Lowlands. After ride lunch at the Train Wreck Bar & Grill in Burlington. #cycling #PNW #food #beer #SkagitCounty #SkagitSpringClassic #outdoors

It's officially spring -- the tulips are blooming.

I can’t begin to adequately describe how beautiful it was today up in the Skagit Valley. Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Could this be winter? It was a little chilly but I was dressed for success, four layers. We passed by flocks of Trumpeter Swans in the fields. We did a whole loop around Lake Samish. #bicycling #cycling #bike #SkagitValley #SkagitCounty #LakeSamish #WhatcomCounty #PNW #Washington

Hype for the Future 78M: City of Mount Vernon, Washington
Overview The City of Mount Vernon is located on the north side of the Greater Seattle area in the Pacific Northwest to serve as the county seat of Skagit County, Washington, in the United States. The most notable feature of Mount Vernon is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival; however, as with a number of communities of similar size within the State and into Oregon, the community is also home to a number of art galleries within the general downtown area. -

The Army Corps of Engineers was able to reduce flooding on the Skagit River with emergency operations of two hydropower dams upstream.

Well. The Mount Vernon floodwall held. Or has, so far, but the record-setting crest has passed so the prospects are looking pretty good.
Now to reinforce it because worse will be coming.
Also: People were wondering how much of the 100,000 people under evacuation order were in Skagit County, since that number covered the entire affected area, not just Skagit.
I finally got an answer:
78,000
That's the Skagit County floodplain number by itself. The other 22,000 were in other parts of the flooding area, particularly Snohomish County, but also some areas in King County up around North Bend and also areas around Green River.

Flooding has reportedly crossed Highway 20 in Sterling, west of Burlington. If you are still there, somehow, GET OUT NOW. Recommendation is to evacuate via Collins or Gardner, then west to I-5.
People may want to notice how close this is to Burlington, which has very little elevation advantage over Sterling, if any.

for the people going hrr hrr don't build on floodplain here is a higher-contrast topological map of western skagit county with the 100-year flood plain evacuation area overlaid in yellow
you might as well be saying "don't build in skagit county" and if you want to say that fine but it is not helpful
you see
cascadia is a mountain country, mostly made mostly of tall, rocky mountains
particularly the western half
we might be on the coast, but we're still a mountain country
the flood plain _is_ the flat part

Holy hell Skagit County
If you are on the 100 YEAR floodplain, you should evacuate IMMEDIATELY.
If you see this and know people up there, make sure they know. I'm tagging Seattle into this because yikes.
