"Ish River"--
like breath,
like mist rising from a hillside.
Duwamish, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, Samish,
Skokomish, Skykomish...all the ish rivers.
I live in Ish River country
between two mountain ranges where
many rivers
run down to an inland sea.

All Wet
Much of Ish River Country is underwater this week, as record rainfall riding in on the Pineapple Express dumped on the mountains and filled the rivers to overflowing.
Here is a view of the Nooksack River inundating Lynden in northern Whatcom county near the border with BC (photo from the Bellingham Herald).
