Highway 530 opened last week through the area devastated by the Oso landslide. We took a drive through the Oso area and on up to the town of Darrington and took a number of pictures. The pictures don’t come close to capturing what the devastation looks like in person. There is still on victim whose body has not been recovered buried somewhere in the landslide and it was with mixed feelings that we drove past the area. We stopped in Darrington and spent some money at an antique shop. As we talked with the shop owner about the landslide and its effect on the community his eyes began to well up with tears.
Here are the photos of the Oso landslide area.
