Flood emergency in western Washington

A flood emergency is underway in western Washington as a second surge of heavy rain is causing rivers across the region to rise. Many are expected to crest on Thursday, and in some cases, especially along the Skagit River, the flooding will prove to be historic. Gov. Bob Ferguson declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard to assist with flooding. About 300 service members will be staged and ready to respond. As many as 100,000 residents could be forced to evacuate when rivers reach historic levels. Residents are urged to sign up for emergency alerts. Level 3, "GO NOW" evacuations have occurred in Skagit County for residents living within the 100-year floodplain, in Concrete due to historic flooding on the Skagit and Sauk rivers, Sumas in Whatcom County, Mount Vernon, and others. Dozens of area roads are closed along with major highways. Eastbound Interstate 90 is closed between Snoqualmie and North Bend Both directions of US 2 are closed from Index over Stevens Pass to Coles Corner due to slides and flooding. Both directions of SR 20 closed in Marblemount due to water on the road between Conrad Road and Cascade River Road. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/weste...
