I drove into downtown Snohomish today at about noon, crossing over the river on Airport Road from Hwy 9. The Snohomish (still rising at that time) was already lapping at the backs of some of the buildings in the old antique district. This is on the route of the Flying Wheels Summer Century. At the end of the old town district, the FW route turns right on Lincoln before descending across the valley to become the Old Snohomish-Monroe Road. There were several houses on Lincoln that were flooded out already. There was a man standing on his front porch, waiting for the SFD to bring a dinghy out for him. He seemed to be in a good humor. KIRO TV had a remote there.

It sounds like Hwy 9 has subsequently been closed across the valley. 522 should be nice-n-crowded tonight.
