After big quake, Snohomish County would face jigsaw puzzle of 'islands'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — When the Big One hits, you might be stranded on an island.

A new map of “population islands” gives you an idea of whom you’ll be stuck with — and where.

The interactive map produced by the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management reveals how transportation system damage from a powerful earthquake could fracture our county into isolated areas, or “population islands.”

You’ll be hearing that term and seeing the map a lot in months to come in disaster planning campaigns.

1. That's an interesting map, I wish all the counties would make them

I started counting bridges, small to large, that would impact my ability to drive around after a big quake. The results confirmed my desire to not travel so far from home to work.
