There was a term that emerged during the rescue effort: 'Oso Strong'.
It's a familiar phrase after a tragedy, but it felt especially poignant after the landslide. The people of Oso and Darrington are known for their can-do attitude.
On this final episode, Jake Whittenberg shows how the term 'Oso Strong' still echoes throughout the Stillaguamish River Valley.
