Friday marks ten years since the Oso landslide was triggered in Snohomish County.
At 10:37 a.m. on March 22, 2014, the once-forested hillside above Oso collapsed without warning in a massive landslide, destroying the Steelhead Haven neighborhood and killing 43 people.
Dozens of homes were wiped out when mud, rocks, trees, and debris roared down a hillside above the north fork of the Stillaguamish River.
A permanent memorial on Highway 530 will be publicly unveiled in a ceremony Friday morning.
It will honor the victims, survivors, and first responders of the mudslide — one of the deadliest in U.S. history.

Since 2014, a tribute has been going up in pieces. That fall, 43 trees were planted, one for each victim. Later, a row of bronze mailboxes was installed to represent the Steelhead Haven neighborhood destroyed by a wall of mud.
