Flooding forces closure of streets
November 7, 2008
By Ed Farrell
At least two streets in Snoqualmie have been closed due to flood concerns.
Northern Street, Mill Pond Road between Meadowbrook Bridge and Tokul Road, were close off because of rising levels of the Snoqualmie River.
Elsewhere, the Tolt River near Carnation was declared in a Phase 4 flood state by the King County Flood Warning Center Friday morning.
The Snoqualmie River was coursing at 27,090 cubic feet per second at 10 a.m. Friday, strong enough to warrant Phase 3 flood warnings, but far below the 38,000 cfs point necessary to trigger a Stage 4 alert.
Real-time river level and flood information is available at www.kingcounty.gov/flood
A recorded King County flood information hotline is updated each hour at 206-296-8200 or 1-800-945-9263.
