The Skagit River near Mount Vernon crested at record-breaking levels in the wee hours of Friday morning, but it’s still running dangerously high hours later. The flood wall has held so far, but a lot of water is pressing against it — and residents in Skagit County, a densely populated agricultural hub an hour north of Seattle, and elsewhere across the state aren't out of the water yet. It could take some time before flood waters actually start to recede. Authorities are monitoring local levees and dikes. Tens of thousands of Washingtonians remain under evacuation advisories, including about 78,000 people in Skagit County's flood plain. See flood updates from Thursday, Dec. 11 here.
