The purple #seastar aka #OchreSeastar - Pisaster ochraceus - is one of the most commonly found #starfish along the coasts of #BritishColumbia. You can see they have thousands of tiny feet on their legs to help them move around.

The purple sea star is considered a #KeystoneSpecies & an essential indicator of #OceanHealth.

All Skagit County residents living within the 100-year floodplain should evacuate immediately, county officials advised Wednesday night.

That's everything in yellow in the map above.

The 100-year floodplain includes areas along the Skagit River and most areas in the western part of the county, including parts of Mount Vernon and much of Burlington and Sedro-Woolley.

“LEVEL 3 — GO! ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN SHOULD EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT,” read the alert from Skagit County officials. — Seattle Times * KEY UPDATE 10:33 pm Skagit County residents told to evacuate immediately [IMAGE: NOAA, NWS Flood Inundation Mapping (Graphic by Fiona Martin / The Seattle Times)] All Skagit County residents living within the 100-year floodplain should evacuate immediately, county officials advised Wednesday night.

Well. The Mount Vernon floodwall held. Or has, so far, but the record-setting crest has passed so the prospects are looking pretty good.

Now to reinforce it because worse will be coming.

Also: People were wondering how much of the 100,000 people under evacuation order were in Skagit County, since that number covered the entire affected area, not just Skagit.

I finally got an answer:

78,000

That's the Skagit County floodplain number by itself. The other 22,000 were in other parts of the flooding area, particularly Snohomish County, but also some areas in King County up around North Bend and also areas around Green River.
