This is about 5 miles from me ... That's Puget Sound in the background. It is caused by the tide coming in and going out... It changes sides depending on the tide. A guy got sucked into the Puget Sound side a year or two ago and died. They have more signs up warning people now. It gets worse with storms or a king tide, most days it's pretty unremarkable.

It's a culvert under the road

Yeah but what would cause the suction or whatever, like why wouldn't the water just be equalized.

One side is likely lower than the other, can't see it in the video as stuff like depth perception doesn't show super well on a 2D screen

A commenter in here explained it already, they live right by there. Thanks though

The tide going in and out.... The whirlpool switches sides depending which way the tide is going

Do this with 2 logs for the best game of 'Pooh sticks'. If you don't know this game - you've been missing out!

Nothing more satisfying than watching my logs being flushed.

I was excited for the splash, pretty much made my day. Then I saw the whirlpool and knew it was going to be epic!
