If you are a voter in Washington State you should be getting your ballot for the August primary in the mail soon (I just got mine). There are four State Supreme Court primaries, and these races are often the hardest to figure out. This tool from the Northwest Progressive Institute has info about all the candidates in each race and a handy view of who is endorsing each.

Beyond The 100-Year Flood - Probabilistic Flood Hazard Assessment For King And Pierce Counties Under Future Climate Scenarios

[part of my old stomping ground as an engineering geologist]

“Flood maps are usually built from a single design storm. For King and Pierce Counties in the Pacific Northwest (USA), [the authors] tried the opposite - simulate 82 years of actual coastal and river conditions (plus 18 synthetic years) with SFINCS and let the statistics fall out cell by cell. That took about 5,400 yearly simulations and 194,000 CPU hours on USGS's Hovenweep HPC. Worth it!
The design-event shortcut turns out to hide a real hazard. A deterministic 10-year event underestimated flood depths by up to half a meter compared to the continuous runs.
The bigger surprise [to the authors] was how one-sided the climate signal is. One metre of sea level rise takes King County's expected annual flooded area from 161 --> 787 hectares, almost a factor of five. Changes in storminess over the same horizon barely register. And somewhere between 100 and 150 cm of SLR, land that never floods today starts flooding fast. If you plan adaptation in Puget Sound, that threshold matters more than any single return-period map.
[They] also propose Expected Annual Flooded Area (EAFA) as a probability-weighted alternative to the binary "inside or outside the 100-year zone" label…”

Though the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater sampling has apparently resumed this week, there's a note up on the dashboard saying that the reporting won't start until July 22nd. That's about six weeks of no wastewater data on respiratory pathogens for the entire state, welp. I'm very disappointed.

Might feel less American and more like it's the independence day of some counterpart that might as well have stepped out of a dream world...but maybe that's why I like Independence Day in the north...

In the light of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's _support_ of both anti-trans bills and the new anti-trans Supreme Court ruling, meet her opponent in the upcoming primary. He's picked up some endorsements:
His comment on Rep. Perez's comments in this article on Facebook (which tagged her):
[Marie Gluesenkamp Perez] believes "you don't get good policy like from the feds." I'll say that is true while she is there not pushing for good policy. She also says "the rush to moralize is not necessarily effective." I'll say to that, I'll take my moral advice from someone who seems to have some.

Like those evocative Japanese paintings of yore, so far across the Pacific...if only they could have visited it as it was then, and returned to tell the tale.

The Season of Sinking by Daphne Woolsoncroft
When Imogen Bly’s mother is found dead in the lake near her mother’s home, Imogen leaves Seattle to help her twin sister, Amelia, take care of her mother’s home and belongings.
Imogen has been dealing with a recurring nightmare, and she soon figures out that it might have something to do with her hometown of Blair, Washington.
The local police believe her mother’s death is an accidental drowning, but Imogen and Amelia start to question the decision. They believe that someone wanted their mother dead.
While Imogen gets reacquainted with her teen crush, Rory from next door. Rory tries to help her look for answers to the death as well as what may have happened in her past.
Imogen and Amelia must deal with their loss alone. They never met their father. Their mother never even told them who he was.
Evidence leads them to believe her mother’s death is somehow also related to the disappearance of a local young woman a year earlier.
Imogen begins to question everyone they meet. Amelia wants to get the house sorted out so they can leave.
This is a story of secrets kept. Some to protect the girls and some to protect a killer. Imogen doesn’t know who to trust.
This was an interesting premise, but I found it hard to get hooked. The mother was dead before I could know enough about her to care. I didn’t find out about the missing person until the last half of the book and by then it felt like the author had to throw all the details out at the last minute.
As a reader, I felt like that character was one too many. I think this might have been more interesting if instead of creating Madison, the missing person; maybe the author could have made Amelia the missing person. That would have given Imogen more of a reason to want to know what happened and if the two incidents were related. I think that change would have given more of an edge to the story that I felt it needed. I did like the possible ghostly visit. I would also have liked more of that threaded into the story.
That said, the author is a hit true crime podcaster. That is enough to make me want to read what she writes.
I do believe this author writes well. I do like her style.
If you like a good domestic mystery, I would still say read this one. I own the author’s first book, Night Watcher. It became lost in my to be read pile. After reading this one, I hope to dig that one out and read it soon.
This is the author’s second book and a new release that comes out on July 7, 2026.
