Landslide

All the rain of late has made every hillside suspicious. Here we see how the dirt under the sidewalk has slumped away. The city brought out the barricades and warning tape. A few years ago a large chunk of hillside just beyond the park slid away, taking about 10 feet of the street with it. Life in Ballard is usually pretty quiet but every now and then it'll bite you.
