Snow melt and rain created saturated soil conditions which lead to a road washout near Curlew in Ferry County. The road bed was undermined by the flood water causing the washout and collapse of a 20 foot section of the highway. The road is a major thoroughfare through the region and was re-opened after 2 days of repair work.
