FYI On The Mudslide at Index

I was crusing the net a few minutes ago to see if there was anything new to report on the mudslide. I ran in to an interesting discussion that was turning into an argument.

Now, my wife and I have lived here only a bit over 5 years and we were outside visitors for 4-5 years before that (2-3 times a year for a few days at a time).

One of the comments I read state “You can always get out by the pit”, referring to the Reiter Pit. Alas, that is on Reiter Road.

For your “outsiders”, Reiter Road is on the North Fork of the Skykomish River. The mudslide was on the South Fork and would not be accessible via Reiter Road.

Just and FYI and a short explanation of how the roads run around here.
