Live updates: Tens of thousands still without power in Western Washington with more wind ahead
Flood waters are receding Thursday, but a flood watch remains in effect for several Western Washington counties. Meanwhile, farmers continue to assess damages and the cleanup that lies ahead. The number of Western Washingtonians still without power sits at roughly 40,000 as of early Thursday afternoon, a day after high winds and fallen trees caused outages for hundreds of thousands. But more outages could be on the way, as the National Weather Service has issued wind advisories in many counties throughout the region. Flood warnings remain in place for some rivers as of Thursday morning, including the Cedar River in Renton, the Green River near Auburn, the White River in parts of Pierce and King counties, the Snohomish River at Snohomish, and the Skagit River near Mount Vernon. Gov. Ferguson on Tuesday pledged $3.5 million from the state budget to assist people impacted by recent historic flooding. One person drowned Tuesday morning after driving on a flooded roadway in Snohomish. It marks the first flood-related death since a series of atmospheric rivers moved into the region last week. Areas affected by heavy rainfall are at an increased risk of landslides and mudslides. Officials have advised visitors of burned areas to take extra precautions. The Trump administration last week approved Washington state’s appeal for federal disaster assistance, quelling some anxiety over whether the state would receive federal assistance.
