After all the snow we had this year, we then had a nice warmup and rainfall, causing extensive flooding around the state. It was bad enough to turn Western Washington into almost an island. Both passes were closed and the highway south to Portland was flooded over too. The only way out of Seattle, was to go North to Canada, and even that had some blockage on some roads. The waters finally receded from the roads, but there is still a lot in the lower lying valleys and fields that just won't evaporate due to the colder temperatures and continued rain. We had some friends that had to use a boat to get in and out of their property for a week or so.
