This river has been fighting silt issues for some time. The Snoqualmie Ridge project and other construction has caused issues for several years. Thankfully, the construction is slowing down, so the river doesn't murk up quite as bad after a rain, but it's still an issue. I don't think this recent work is that bad, and it didn't put the silt in the river bed in the first place.
