The scarp is irregular, nearly vertical and locally overhanging, but there appears to be little distress to ground a few meters upslope from the scarp. A few minor scarps at the edge of the bluff near the south end of the slide, indicate where additional blocks may eventually calve. Landau noted 10 or 11 slides on the same bluff north of the convent. Freight traffic is running again at reduced speed but there is an indirect economic loss to Amtrak, which is not able to use the tracks until safety issues related to the slide are resolved. Saturday they observed slides in King County, east of Seattle.
Slides seem to be less abundant there than along the bluffs.
Most of these slides were slumps affecting roadways and appeared to be in outwash. One which had a volume of about 2000 yards was strongly disrupted and may have been a flow, but the county had nearly finished repairing it by the time they arrived.
