Probably depends on where you go, 124th was closed this morning when I went by at 5:30 everything else was too dark for me to see but I could see lights reflecting in the water coming across Woodinville Duvall road. Flooding in Cherry Valley has been backing up since Friday.

The Snoqualmie is at an all time high of 46k c.f.s.
If it is huntable now, it won't be for long. The problem with hunting the valley in this type of situation is that there's so much water the birds can land anywhere.

That's a very nice update! Could save a few people some gas money. Be careful anyone out and about, the rivers are running hard!

nahhh....

W-D is open. Traffic sucks huge but gotta go to work, right?
Took me an hour and a half to get home last night, Bellevue to Duvall.
 :puke:

There's a ton of water but it's been a lot worse in the past. I'm not sure why since the rivers were at record levels yesterday.

ummmmm....You will need a boat to jump shoot anything in the Snoqualmie Valley right now unless you want to jump shoot highway 203 and the corn fields everywhere are currently lakes.

 I know there was someone who lost a lot of decoys this flood.... GHG Canada shells, Bigfoots, GHG mallards. Sucks for who ever it was. I guess if your going to leave your decs out, you should at least pick them up during a flood. Because it was an early Christmas for any duck hunter driving on 203. Free pickings on the road side for at least 2 miles!

Maybe whoever it was learned to not leave their dekes out. Isn't that illegal anyway? If so I'm glad they lost them.
That'll learn them.

It is legal to leave them out on private land just not public.

Between Fall City and Carnation? Line of trees on the tight turn with a blue locked gate? Those may have just been stored in the field next to the blind on private property, not left out for hunting if they are who I think they are-------
