Driveway drain is overrun

Water flowed over to the gravel parking, which we had drainage pipes added to a couple years ago

Water as it flows through our front bark bed

The stream

It is two to three feet deep in there

Highest we have ever seen. It snowed on the weekend, then rained hard for about 36 hours straight

Bridge is partway under water, as is the walkway to it

Looking upstream

The only part of our grass that actually had standing water

Green is quite green, but you can see the water is close to the level of the fence and yard

Where the stream comes in

Creeping higher, it also reached the shed
 

At it's highest level. It would really have to rain in order to reach the house at all. We had never had this much rain before in the 4 plus years we have lived here. SeaTac airport reported 4 inches of rain in 24 hours, I think we received a little bit more since we are located in the convergence zone.
