Mt. Forest

In case you missed the email, Waste Management will be skipping this week's Recycle pick up entirely, with the next pick up being on the 27th.

It looks like trash pick up may depend on where you are in the neighborhood. Some are being told Monday, others are being told it won't be until regular pick up on Friday. (Edited to include new info.)

There's a tree down over the uphill side of Mount Forest Blvd. Hopefully we'll be able to take care of it soon, but for now just drive cautiously around it.

Be careful out there, lots of water on the roadways (including both standing and flowing water over High Bridge/W. Snoqualmie Valley to the south of Mt. Forest). As of 5pm on 5 December, both Crescent Lake Rd and Tualco Loop Rd are closed.

Snohomish County has started repaving Mount Forest Blvd this afternoon. It seems to be going relatively quickly, but they've got a lot to do. The road is down to one lane, so please be patient!

Heads up for paving work in the neighborhood this week!

paving crews will be in the vicinities of High Bridge Rd and the Mt.
Forrest Blvd neighborhood this week. Crews plan to be in the Index area on Friday. Give crews room and drive carefully in work zones.

Heads Up: Fred Hutch Obliteride Cycling Event this Saturday (12 August). The 100 Mile Route will be taking the cyclists up High Bridge Road... all the way up to Broadway (along Connelly). Hopefully it won't be too disruptive, but car traffic is already a bit higher due to the closure of Woodinville-Duvall (since it is one of the main suggested Detour Routes), so plan accordingly if you need to be anywhere Saturday morning!

Ride Register for Obliteride’s 25-, 50- or 100-mile bike ride on Saturday, August 12, and fundraise to help cure cancer faster.

In case you've missed the news, starting tomorrow, July 17th, Woodinville-Duvall Rd is projected to be closed until August 15th. https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/local-services/transit-transportation-roads/roads-and-bridges/projects-and-programs/ne-wdr-at-ne-172nd-street

A surprise blast of winter this morning on Mount Forest!

An interesting article about upgrading roads for flooding in the Valleys.

Not so high and dry: Climate change adds to flooding risks | HeraldNet.com Road improvements are planned with future river flows in mind, starting with an area between Monroe and Sultan.

Heads up for those in the neighborhood that the Flying Wheels Cycling Event is back this year, on June 5th. The 100 Mile Route takes the cyclists up W. Snoqualmie Valley Rd/High Bridge. https://cascade.org/rides-and-events-major-rides/flying-wheels

**Update**The owner has been found!

Found dog on Mount Forest... anyone recognize this guy?

FOUND BLACK DOG

*****UPDATE: Duvall Veterinary Hospital found a chip and was looking up his info, we left him with them. 425-788-2620*****

He's really nice and he won't leave my porch. Medium sized, scruffy and black with a white spot on his chest. He has a collar but no tags. I don't think he's supposed to be out so I put a leash on him.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW - if you know anything about this dog.
