In the year 2017, thousands of salmon swam up the Skokomish River as part of their annual spawning ritual. However, they encountered a significant problem: flooding had caused the river to overflow its banks, leaving the fish disoriented and desperate.
Despite their instinct to swim upstream, the floodwaters were pushing them in the wrong direction, leading to confusion among the salmon.During this time, a strong cold front swept through the Pacific Northwest, exacerbating the flooding situation.
The Skokomish River in western Washington state was particularly affected, experiencing localized flooding.While the flooding posed a significant challenge for the salmon, it also caused trouble for residents. Powerful winds, with gusts reaching 60 to 65 mph, resulted in fallen trees and downed power lines.
Additionally, heavy rain saturated the lowlands, while higher elevations experienced heavy snowfall.
