Washington Town on High Alert over Slow-Moving Landslide
A slow-moving landslide in central Washington state has forced evacuations as officials prepare for what they say is inevitable – the collapse of a ridge near an interstate highway.
Washington is wary of landslides following one in 2014 that killed dozens.
No one can predict exactly when the Rattlesnake Ridge landslide, located near the city of Yakima, will occur.
