These Rainier Street moppets, if they were expecting to see their street roar as in days of yore during thaws, were somewhat disappointed when this photo was published on Feb. 1963. In previous years, Rainier Street floodwaters, most of which originated in Zintel Canyon, have surged over the sidewalk where the children were standing. The water flow never exceeded by much the level shown here. City crews later replaced the gratings, reopened the street to traffic, and everyone went home. HERALD STAFF
