The King County Flood Warning Center closed hours after opening on Sunday as rainfall eased throughout the county.
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks (KCDNR) found that the sum of the Snoqualmie River’s three forks was recorded just slightly higher than the Phase 2 flood alert threshold. The threshold is 12,000 cubic feet per second and Snoqualmie River was reported at 12,100 cubic feet per second as of 10 a.m. Sunday.
Minor flooding could’ve occurred in low-lying areas along the Snoqualmie River, but significant flood impacts to roadways and other public infrastructure were not expected, according to KCDNR.
The flood warning center closed at 1:45 p.m. after little precipitation was seen in the immediate forecast.
