1959 Press Photo Abandoned Bruner rural home sits in ragging Skykomish River

This rural home, hastily abandoned by the D.E. Bruner family, sits in racing, muddy floodwater from the ragging Skykomish River rolling three feet deep over a highway, foreground. This scene was typical of many areas of Western Washington late today as heavy rains and melting snow swelled rivers over banks and flooded wide sections.
