Seattle (and for that matter Vancouver the city) is located at the mouth of a river, so very much of the area these cities are built on may consist of alluvial silts, so more or less sand.


This too... :lol:
You realize that there are a lot of hills in and around Seattle. Maybe how you describe it would fit Georgetown or Allentown along the Duwamish River, but go less than a a mile from the river in just about any direction and you are in some solid rock hills.

The city I live in (115,000 inhabitants) has a wide flood plain where any sort of building is prohibited (and we’re not talking about Rhine or Danube River widths here, nor depths that could not be crossed with fly-fishing apparel!). Not that criminal “developers” haven’t tried, in various guises, to circumvent this prohibition. Think property sharks trying to sell property in Florida bordering on (within?) the Everglades swamp. While there are no hills of the kind you describe as being around Seattle, we don’t need such hills because of the flood plain surrounding the – eh wot? stream? I have seen it being flooded (from by necessity elevated roads) to a width that exceeds both Rhine and Danube Rivers. To reach us where we live, it would need to become as wide as the Amazon River, and I mean very far downstream. A totally different situation to the time we lived in Frankfurt, the one bordering on the Main (pronounced mine) River, not the one in the now eastern part of Germany bordering on Poland, on the Oder River. A tributary to the Rhine River, with buildings having closed up far too close to the river bank (and again there we were lucky to be the odd furlong away from the bank). If you canalize a river, get ready to drown when the canal overflows massively (you may be lucks, your descendants will at some point in time curse you.) We were close to having or cellars flooded once, very close, as older inhabitants told us about earlier floods ...

It's super foggy today, although the sun is trying to burn it off. Apparently, we're supposed to sunny, mild weather for the next two weeks.

Quite a few squirrels (and crows – or ravens?) were here today to carry off several handfuls of walnuts. Then it started snowing.

Our Christmas block party is this afternoon, so no cooking for me this evening.

The news from California that has been getting through to Germany has been more about horrific forest (or brush) fires ... :-(

The fires continue according to the news. I believe a firefighter died fighting the Thomas fire which is only about 15% contained. My heart goes out to all of the people who have lost everything, especially at this time of year.

Maybe much of California is not a good place to build a house?

As Seattle has a rare white Christmas eve into Christmas morning, we had a blistering sunny 37° day that had a thunderstorm blow in at sunset to piss down buckets of rain with a bit of gusty wind, cooling the evening off quite well. My wife and I sat out on the front veranda (porch) watching the lightning, listening to the thunder and the rain as we sipped our beers. Merry Christmas everyone!

Rare white Christmas looks very pretty, but I want it gone by Boxing Day morning. :lol:

The ski jumping Four Hills Tournament (German: “Vierschanzentournee”) is starting up next weekend. In Oberstdorf, Germany on 30 December, the “New Year’s Day jump” in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany on 01 January (duh!), Innsbruck, Austria on 04 January, and Bischofshofen, Austria on 06 January. Winning this is bigger than an Olympic Gold Medal (kind of like the FIFA World Cup championship is rated much higher than an Olympic win, though not quite as drastic a difference).
