The King County owned,  Skykomish Solid Waste Transfer station roof has
collapsed due to massive heavy snowload. This was a County owned, County
built roof, that was permitted by the County for massive snow load, It
crushed on Jan 31st.

The weather forecast shows the same,, snow, rain, snow, rain, warm, cold,
6"-12" per day. US Hwy 2 is a real mess. The semi
trucks are a parking lot on the Hwy in front of the Skykomish Chevron. The
local gas station ran out of diesel fuel, so the entire Emergency  snow
removal crew came to a stand still. Someone called King Co Emergency
Management to see if  N.E. King Co has been declared a disaster area, so we
can get funds to hire roof shovelers, private back hoes to remove snow from
eves of homes so roofs can slide again. The Town of Skykomish was already
declared 2 days ago. They have 5 Dump trucks, Wa State DOT plows, trucks,
County blowers, trucks, BN Railroad equipment, rented backhoes and are
hiring anyone that can shovel roofs, walk ways, buildings etc. All our
resources...County plows, trucks, blowers & private back hoes and
contractors have been hired for the Town Disaster. See the Komo Skykomish
story here . http://www.komotv.com/news/15089626.html
If it warms up at all, it will be the flood of the century.
