February 2, 2020 By admin Leave a Comment

The King County Flood Warning Center closed atfcd_color_logo 6 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 2, after two days of ‘round-the-clock operations during widespread flooding brought on by a powerful winter storm that dropped several inches of rain across portions the county.

The Flood Warning Center opened at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 31, after heavy rainfall sent the Tolt River into a Phase 2 flood alert level. The Tolt River eventually reached a Phase 4 flood alert, with significant widespread flooding occurring along the river upstream of Carnation.

The Snoqualmie River reached a Phase 3 flood alert level, with moderate widespread flooding in the Snoqualmie Valley. Floodwaters continue to impact portions of the lower Snoqualmie Valley as river levels slowly recede. The South Fork Skykomish River also reached a Phase 3 flood alert level.

The White, Green and Cedar rivers all reached Phase 2 flood alert level, with minor impacts along those waterways.

County employees will continue to monitor river gauges and weather reports, and they will provide updated information on river conditions as necessary. Real-time river level information is available online at kingcounty.gov/flood.
