The slide occurred less than 4 miles East of Oso, WA, directly above Steelhead Drive. This is about 14 miles East of Arlington and 12 miles West of Darrington. One of my pet peeves is the habit of the media calling out a location "near" an event instead of describing the actual location.

If you use Google Earth the exact location is: 48°17'4.56"N - 121°50'52.12"W Simply paste these coordinates into the search field and Google Earth will take you directly to the site. The damaged area is directly across the river.
