QUOTES:
"MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - Volunteers stacked sandbags on levees Tuesday as the
Skagit River rose toward an expected major flood crest following the second
torrential rainstorm in the Pacific Northwest in less than a week.

Flood warnings were posted along 11 rivers in western Washington. Record
amounts of rain fell Monday on the region, where the ground already was
saturated by a storm last Thursday blamed for one death, flooding, road
washouts and mudslides. Two deaths were blamed on the earlier storm in
neighboring

The Skagit was expected to crest during the night at 38 feet at Mount
Vernon, 10 feet above flood stage...

Rainfall had eased considerably Tuesday, following Monday's deluge when
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport recorded a record for the date of 5.02
inches of rain, well over the old mark of 3.41 inches set in 1959, the
weather service said. Records elsewhere included 7.2 inches at Shelton and
5.39 at Hoquiam.

One lane of U.S. 2 was closed through the Cascades on Tuesday because a
slide had piled rocks as big as cars onto the highway. Boulders struck one
car on the highway Monday but no one was injured, the State Patrol said."
