Snoqualmie River Floods Again: Residents Brace for Round Two
10 Dec
Summary
- North Bend Animal Clinic suffered extensive damage from blocked culvert flooding.
- Residents are sandbagging homes as the Snoqualmie River prepares to crest again.
- Roads near Fall City flooded, trapping some residents in their neighborhoods.
Communities along the Snoqualmie River are dealing with the aftermath of recent flooding while preparing for more. In North Bend, the Animal Clinic sustained severe damage due to a blocked culvert, leading to mud-filled interiors and a compromised septic system. The clinic owner is working to reschedule appointments and assess the full extent of the damage.
Elsewhere, residents are taking preventative measures like sandbagging as the Snoqualmie River is forecasted to crest again. Roads near Fall City experienced flooding, temporarily isolating some residents. One individual humorously noted it was a solid excuse to miss work.
The Snoqualmie River near the Falls is predicted to reach its peak again on Wednesday at 10 p.m. This second crest has many on edge as they try to mitigate further damage and recover from the initial inundation.
