A wide river flows gently between dense green trees, reflecting gray light from low clouds that obscure forested hills in the distance along the Skagit River in Washington State.
Low clouds hang over the Skagit River as it winds quietly through spring-green forest. A calm stretch between storms, where the water keeps moving even when the mountains disappear. #SkagitRiver #WashingtonState #PacificNorthwest #NaturePhotography #RiverLandscape #WoodSpriteRoadTrip
The Spatial Institute at Western Washington University in Bellingham was selected to assist with developing an ArcGIS StoryMap of historic mining in Upper Skagit Valley. It is interactive, transparent and informative.

Recently, the Skagit River which runs off the North Cascades into Skagit County, flooded. Thankfully, the flood wall in Mount Vernon held the waters back.
I took these photos last spring in Mt. Vernon.

Skagit and Cascade rivers in Western Washington have run their banks at record levels. A friend just sent photos.
Many evacuated. Some at higher elevations are flooded in place. #Skagit #SkagitRiver #Cascade #CascadeRiver #Flooding #SkagitFlood #SkagitRiverFlood #WesternWashingtonFlood
Wednesday’s downpours coupled with Monday’s #rains have led to #forecasts of #RecordSetting #flooding, particularly on the #SkagitRiver, which flows through #northern #Washington and empties into the #Puget ound, said #WashingtonState #climatologist #GuillaumeMauger.

A ridge of tall rocky peaks is beyond a green meadow fringed by deciduous trees. The mountains are covered in evergreen trees. The sky is blue with a few puffy white clouds.
A gently flowing river heads away toward a distant lake and snow-capped mountains on the horizon. The banks of the river are covered in green grass. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds lit by the sun.
Drove out to #skagitprovincialpark yesterday, one of my favourite places! #hozameenrange #skagitriver completed two bird lists, had a picnic lunch and flagged our #breedingbirdsurvey stops on the way back. #grateful
