Leschi slide, just below 32nd Ave, between East Spruce and East Alder

The SunBreak Geophysical Survey Team went out to Lake Washington Boulevard to inspect a small landslide we'd heard about, and on the way back, traveling through Leschi, found a more recent one that was still blocking the road. One of the workers said this was his fourth visit to an active slide today. In particular, the Burke-Gilman Trail has been hard hit. These slides were anticipated by the USGS, which has from past experience constructed a sogginess threshold that the rains this weekend sent Seattle shooting past.
