Governor Chris Gregoire declares a state of emergency following the huge Nile Valley landslide. The landslide completely wiped out a section of SR-410, isolating people from their homes. But, that's only half the equation, water is another issue, the Naches River has been diverted from it's original path, flooding homes and the roadway. Currently, the river is low, rain and snow will only make things worse this spring. 
A landslide slid across State Route 410 at 6 a.m. Oct. 11, 2009 completely blocking the highway about 10 miles west of Naches, just west of the Woodshed Restaurant. The slide went completely across the Naches River as well. This photo is taken looking east; the Nile Road is just visible in the lower right of the photo. 
The day after a a landslide blocked State Route 410 and the Naches River water from the Naches River continues to flood over Nile Rd. and onto nearby farms on Monday, October 12, 2009.
