Dan Richards lives near Washington's Channeled Scablands, home to Dry Falls. Randall Carlson argues a single catastrophic event carved the landscape, while a 2023 paper proposed roughly 100 smaller floods from Glacial Lake Missoula. Interestingly, Yakama legends speak of a giant beaver whose splashing flooded the land to the sea.
