December

Here’s the rest of what we were up to in December. We saw Santa!

Becky and I went to the Salish one evening just before the flooding and met a couple visiting from New York. They’re huge Twin Peaks fans and had come all the way out to make the pilgrimage and see all the sites from the show.

The Big Flood

In mid-December an atmospheric river brought significant flooding and much excitement to the Snoqualmie Valley. I’ll let the pictures tell the story. Jonathan got some great aerial shots with his drone, which got featured on the news.

Mount Si High School

Snoqualmie Middle School was on an island. The water came right up to the sandbags but did not come in the building























Once it was safe, we took the kids to go see the Falls and downtown

Here are some pics I grabbed off social media

Cabo

Our good friend, Laura, celebrated her milestone birthday this year with a Cabo trip with roughly 50 of her nearest and dearest. We had an amazing time and made many memories!
