• Carnation resident Elle Potter, 38, was pulled from the raging waters by the Tolt Hill Road bridge Sunday. She apparently tried to drive across the Valley floor, not realizing how deep and fast the water was. She was in the water for more than an hour before her rescue.

• Many developments are on the boards in the Valley. The 29 housing projects range from 20 homes in Mount Si Meadows in North Bend to a 20-unit Snowood Apartments in Carnation, all the way to the Peterson and Snoqualmie Ridge plans. Altogether, they would add about 21,000 residents.
