Residents describe a gritty mix of ash and rain that coated vehicles and buildings like “sticky sandpaper.” Eugene “Morty” Mortensen of the Wildwood Inn and others say the substance damaged paint and visibility. Fred Stocker, identified as being with National Geographic, is quoted: “At first it was sort of like rain. Now it’s sort of dry stuff. When it hits, it’s very abrasive. It gets in your mouth and feels like grit and stuff.” The ash reportedly fell around noon and dried in place after the rain stopped.\n\nArticle published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on April 1, 1980.",
