Total FAIL without pics....

Shit man, I wasn't carrying my phone. Had shovel in hand. OK so far but below I think road in is flooded. I could see down to the corner and it was covered.........this creek has no name, seasonal. Water just pouring off the Sumas mountain and hills.......soil is saturated,

Sheeeesh.... you'd think a guy that lived in Duvall would be used to a little bit of flooding.....

You know I'm just funnin with yoos....
Yeah - flat land along a babbling creek is always suspect in this area...
Curious -- were there no indications of flood issues when you were looking at the property? Can't imagine that this is the first/only time this has happened....

I've always been amazed at the levels of flooding that happen in the area --- used to live in DT Redmond and watch the slough all the way up to Canyon Park --- impressive when it jumps the banks 10+ feet high.... I was told when I was looking for my house to always be wary of creeks and streams near a property....

In Washington State, a new law passed this year prevents officers from chasing a car just because it’s stolen. Vehicle pursuits are now reserved only for crimes that pose a public safety risk. If a cop tries to pull someone in a stolen car over and the driver doesn’t stop, the cop has to let him go.

pretty sure a bunch of fucking (democraps) Progressive/socialist/communist passed this

These MF’rs have taken over and are hiding under the Democrat flag. I am not advocating to saying that Democrats are good but there’s a big difference. Real Democrat voters are hoodwinked once again.

The thing is, the content of that link is not true.

Being in possession of a stolen vehicle is a felony. Police can pursue someone committing a felony.

Here’s the WSP policy about vehicle pursuits.

RCW 10.116.060
Vehicular pursuit.
(1) A peace officer may not engage in a vehicular pursuit, unless:
(a)(i) There is probable cause to believe that a person in the vehicle has committed or is committing a violent offense or sex offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030, or an escape under chapter 9A.76 RCW; or
(ii) There is reasonable suspicion a person in the vehicle has committed or is committing a driving under the influence offense under RCW 46.61.502;
(b) The pursuit is necessary for the purpose of identifying or apprehending the person;
(c) The person poses an imminent threat to the safety of others and the safety risks of failing to apprehend or identify the person are considered to be greater than the safety risks of the vehicular pursuit under the circumstances; and
(d)(i) Except as provided in (d)(ii) of this subsection, the officer has received authorization to engage in the pursuit from a supervising officer and there is supervisory control of the pursuit. The officer in consultation with the supervising officer must consider alternatives to the vehicular pursuit. The supervisor must consider the justification for the vehicular pursuit and other safety considerations, including but not limited to speed, weather, traffic, road conditions, and the known presence of minors in the vehicle, and the vehicular pursuit must be terminated if any of the requirements of this subsection are not met;
(ii) For those jurisdictions with fewer than 10 commissioned officers, if a supervisor is not on duty at the time, the officer will request the on-call supervisor be notified of the pursuit according to the agency's procedures. The officer must consider alternatives to the vehicular pursuit, the justification for the vehicular pursuit, and other safety considerations, including but not limited to speed, weather, traffic, road conditions, and the known presence of minors in the vehicle. The officer must terminate the vehicular pursuit if any of the requirements of this subsection are not met.
(2) A pursuing officer shall comply with any agency procedures for designating the primary pursuit vehicle and determining the appropriate number of vehicles permitted to participate in the vehicular pursuit and comply with any agency procedures for coordinating operations with other jurisdictions, including available tribal police departments when applicable.
(3) A peace officer may not fire a weapon upon a moving vehicle unless necessary to protect against an imminent threat of serious physical harm resulting from the operator's or a passenger's use of a deadly weapon. For the purposes of this subsection, a vehicle is not considered a deadly weapon unless the operator is using the vehicle as a deadly weapon and no other reasonable means to avoid potential serious harm are immediately available to the officer.
(4) For purposes of this section, "vehicular pursuit" means an attempt by a uniformed peace officer in a vehicle equipped with emergency lights and a siren to stop a moving vehicle where the operator of the moving vehicle appears to be aware that the officer is signaling the operator to stop the vehicle and the operator of the moving vehicle appears to be willfully resisting or ignoring the officer's attempt to stop the vehicle by increasing vehicle speed, making evasive maneuvers, or operating the vehicle in a reckless manner that endangers the safety of the community or the officer.

The law doesn't say 'felony', it says violent crime, then lists a couple examples.. It also says that the outcome of catching the person has to outweigh any risk, which is vague as all hell, and since anyone fleeing can cause an accident at any time, it's 'too risky'...



So, there you have it.

BTW, that's an outdated WSP pursuit policy, from 2003....
