Counting today, Seattle has seen 23 consecutive days of rain and the National Weather Service is forecasting rain for at least seven more. If the forecast holds true and it keeps raining through the end of next week, Seattle could be on its way to a new record, surpassing that 33-day stretch of rain set in 1953.
The police are opening up an evacuation route for a nearby Valley.
I did this weeks hike in the city because I figured the highway to all my hiking areas would be flooded it. They are opening up an evacuation route for the Skokomish Valley.
I took the Bus to Olympia and went Geocaching. According to my GPS I walked about ten miles. I found 7 geocaches today. I would have found more if I had not forgotten my paper work. I went on several wild goose chases with bad coordinates because I did not have the paper that I crossed out the bad ones one. Still 7 is not bad and I got some exercise.
I stayed nice and dry in all my new rain gear but I did turn a lot of heads. I was dressed for the back country but I was in the city. There are so many homeless people in Olympia, I wonder what they are doing to stay dry?
