SEATTLE - As an atmospheric river moves across western Washington this weekend, King County officials are monitoring conditions in the Snoqualmie Basin. The area has been placed under a phase two flood alert.
In a statement released around noon on Saturday, Nov. 1, the Department of Natural Resources and Parks confirmed minor flooding in low-lying areas was possible.
Under a phase two designation, King County alerts residents of the potential for overtopped roadways. No other rivers are expected to see flooding conditions on Saturday, according to the county flood warning page.
Where are flooded roads in Snoqualmie Basin?
Some of the roads that could overtop include the following:
- Southeast Reinig Road
- Meadowbrook Road
- Mill Pond Road
- Neal Road Southeast
- Southeast 24th Street
- West Snoqualmie River Road Northeast north of Northeast 18th Street
- Northeast Tolt Hill Road
The department points to several hours of intense rainfall as pushing the river over some initial limits of their monitoring stages. In response, they have opened the King County Flood Warning Center.
