43 people were killed in Oso in 2014 in a landslide. Now, a permanent memorial stands at the site of the slide.
OSO, Wash. - On March 22, 2014, a landslide devoured an entire subdivision of the town of Oso in Snohomish County, killing 43 people. It remains the deadliest landslide in U.S. history.
In late 2021, Snohomish County Council approved $4.8 million in the 2022 budget to secure the last piece of funding needed to build a memorial commemorating the Oso Slide. Family and friends have been advocating for a memorial for years.
