An article from the Seattle Times documents how the area that slid 2 days ago, with 14 dead and 176 missing, was called "Slide Hill" by locals in the 1960's. The head of Snohomish County's Department of Emergency Management claimed “It was considered very safe,” Pennington said. “This was a completely unforeseen slide. This came out of nowhere.” So, even if you do know what has happened in the past, like the last time this landslide moved down the hill in 2006, you can choose to put your hands over your eyes and claim you never saw it coming.
