Yes, it’s a very wet area. We’ve had heavy rains in recent weeks, and mudslides are common because of all the hills.
Western Washington has had week after week of heavy rains with some breaks in between but leaving the ground saturated. It is supposed to be a nice, dry day today so that will be better for searching.
Guess I will not try to go to one of my favorite hikes at Boulder River, which would entail getting through the closed area.
A 180 ft. deep landslide is quite impressive. Hope no one is buried in that mess.
