What this means
At 9.41 ft, the Sf Snoqualmie River above Alice Creek near Garcia is far below normal for mid-October.
That puts it 1.45 ft below the median of 10.87 ft for mid-October, based on 30 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 11.08 ft (−1.67 ft).
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 9.36 ft and 10.06 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.

What the stage means on the water
Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.
