Figure 10a. Oblique aerial views of the Deer Creek landslide (#27, pl. 1) in Woodway. Looking north, the slide debris appears to have flowed over the railroad tracks without deforming the underlying fill. (photographs by M. Siegel, The Seattle Times, used by permission)

Figure 10b. Oblique aerial views of the Deer Creek landslide (#27, pl. 1) in Woodway. Looking east, Esperance Sand is exposed in the head scarp. The landslide appears to consist of two blocks, the toes of which have broken apart and flowed over the tracks and into Puget Sound. The southern block appears to have failed last. (photographs by M.
