Did just a little bit of driving to the island today :)
It was a first rainy day in Seattle in more than a month. All the vegetation that is not artificially irrigated has burned out.
I spent some time with a geology professor from the University of Washington talking about the glaciers and how they compacted the ground and how that kind of ground is less impacted by landslides.
Turns out that the normal high bank setback for the house is fifty feet. Anything over a hundred feet is considered really good.
We looked at a bunch of areal maps dating back to 1942, which is when World War two was in full swing. We looked at lidar images and a bunch of other stuff.
Talked about various systems for water runoff dispersion, including dry well and other solutions.
My wife was present for a small part of that conversation, and she felt like she was on the set on Bones show, but for geology.
After I got back home, I also went to PCC Market to shop for some groceries. For some reason, they were out of a bunch of items like Buratta cheese and squash.
It was a very productive day, so I feel a bit tired.
