River at Brewster Rises Rapidly Threatening 1897 High Water
The Columbia River at Brewster is rising 14 inches per 24 hours and drift wood floods the area. A boom at Bridgeport 10 miles above catches logs before they reach Brewster, easing fuel transport for nearby residents. If the rise continues, water may reach the 1897 high mark by week’s end, the highest in local history. Ongoing Methow rapids flooding delays boats by 10 to 12 hours and upcountry mail by 24 hours.
