Hoping to learn more about the ginormous landslide that rocked Ledgewood last month, geology experts spent much of this week drilling a 280-foot deep hole atop the bluff.
Under the direction of GeoEngineers, a Seattle-based firm hired by Island County, a drilling team dug a hole so deep that it went below sea level. It was drilled in the county’s right-of-way along Firecrest Avenue.

The joke around Nichole Porath’s home is she wasn’t the first runner in the family to get a sponsor.
Mesa, the family dog, beat her to it.
Porath, 29, gave up her job as a finance manager to run full-time with her eye focused on training for the Olympic marathon trials.
