Looks like local road authorities - not sure if that's Whatcom County or the City of Ferndale - may have finally decided to let this section of road sink into the swamp. This is W. Smith Road just past where it turns off from Hovander Road, by the railroad tracks beside Tennant Lake. For decades this area has flooded in the winter, and now the pavement is cracked and sunken in the lowest part of the roadway. This year a large puddle has remained since the flooding in January.

These photos were taken on Sunday, when cars and bicycles were still driving through. On Monday the water was deeper and "road closed" signs were posted at both ends. Maybe someday soon it will be a new bicycle/pedestrian trail, with a nice boardwalk above the marshes . . .
