Levee failure prompts evacuation along White River in Pacific

Posted

About 2,100 residents of Pacific in South King County are under a Level 3 “Go Now” evacuation order because of flooding along the White River.

Anyone in the area surrounding Third Avenue Southeast and Spencer Court should leave immediately, King County Emergency Management said early Tuesday.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning effective through 7:45 a.m. shortly after a levee failed. Pacific police and other law enforcement agencies were going door to door to warn residents.



A shelter is available at the Auburn Community and Events Center, 910 9th St. S.E.

In Concrete, Skagit County, eight homes remain under a Level 3 evacuation order in the Eriksen Road neighborhood because of landslide concerns. Near Burpee Hill Road, 32 homes are in a Level 2 Get Set evacuation notice.
