Newspaper exchange? Date confirmed :o)

[spookysarah]

The Stillaguamish River is right down the road from us, but we are up a hill about 500' elevation, so our house is fine.
We do get cut off the direct route to town when the flooding happens. I stay home. DH goes the long way to get to work.
The TV reports are very sad to watch right now. All of Western WA is suffering.
The amount of water is unbelievable.
The rain has let up, the temps in the mountains is dropping and they are back to snow. So that will ease up the snow run-off and avalache dangers.
Our small pond is overflowing more than I have ever seen it. We are higher up on our property than that too.
I will be taking my camera out.....hopefully tomorrow.
The river is receding, but there will still be a lot to look at.

Thanks for the link to your local paper. I can't believe how bad things are in your area. Glad you are safe though and hope that things improve real soon.

Thanks everyone.
It is the worse flooding since we have lived here, which is 30 years.
I think the amount of snow was the most we have seen at one time, add that melt to all the heavy rain we have had and all the rivers we have, and it makes for a mess.
The rain is tapering off, so the clean-ups will start.
I am headed to town today....if the road is still open and will take a look at our river.

So, do you think a local newspaper exchange will get going?

I have asked for this exchange to be added to the list of upcoming exchanges. I will be taking sign ups from 10th Feb and aim to have a mail period of around 19th - 28th Feb. Start collecting all your old newspapers and junk mail.

Will do!

How many papers do we need to save?

How many papers do we need to save?

I'm going to say a minimum of two. They can be different named papers or the same paper but a different day. We have our town paper and also a regional paper. Also welcome (especially for those sending internationally) are sale leaflets / junk mail / special food offer leaflets etc but the minimum will be 2 papers.

Does that sound OK with everyone?

2 is fine with me. DH is so looking forward to this exchange. I think I will have to sign him up for more than one exchange.
