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.
