WA Emergency Management

Flood response continues this week as Snohomish County Road Maintenance addresses standing water on our local roadways. Crews are working to clear clogged drains and culverts while coordinating with the @SnoCoSheriff's Office to place road closure signs in impacted areas. Remember, road closure signs are placed for a reason. Don’t try to pass them or drive through standing water! Debris and other hazards may be hiding beneath the surface. If you do encounter standing water, turn around and share your report with 911 when it is safe to do so. Stay safe, warm, and dry this weekend!

Good Morning. We have wet roads and closures across the Northend. As you head out to tackle your Friday, check the @wsdot travel app for the latest details impacting your commute. Remember to be alert for WSDOT & utility crews out clearing and slow down in work zones.

Tsunami Info Stmt: M7.0 South Shetland Islands           2022EDT Mar 19: Tsunami NOT expected for U.S. Atlantic, Gulf, or Pacific Coasts.

I-90 is open both directions. Chains are required on all vehicles except AWD. 22 inches of new snow overnight. Thank you for your patience.

This was a "mini avalanche" on Snoqualmie Pass not that long ago. What a crazy end to winter!

HEADS UP! These roads will likely stay CLOSED OVERNIGHT in both directions due to worsening conditions: - I-90 from North Bend to Ellensburg (MP 34-106) - US 2 from west of the Summit to Coles Corner (MP 55-85) - SR 410 from Enumclaw to Greenwater (MP 26-43)

US 2 Stevens Pass is now closed between milepost 55 and 85 because our plows are not able to clear the road due to illegally parked vehicles at the summit. If you have selfishly chosen to block our crews and first responders, come move your car off the highway. @wspd6pio

With I-90 Snoqualmie Pass closed and chains required on Stevens and Blewett, we need everyone on their best behavior. You can see the tangle at the summit of Stevens rn and we remind you that this isn't a parking lot- be smart, be safe. We are all in it together today. @wspd6pio

A Flood Watch has been issued across parts of NW Oregon and SW Washington, mainly west of the Cascades and north of Benton/Linn Counties. Widespread heavy rain through Friday may lead to flooding. If you live in a flood-prone area, make sure to have an action plan. #ORwx #WAwx

Good morning! We're still on track for strong winds later today into tonight, and blizzard conditions in the mountains. There is still time to prepare for the winds: secure loose items outside, and if traveling through the mountains, pack a winter survival kit. 🍃❄️ #wawx

We're seeing High Wind Warnings in Eastern Washington. Check your local forecast and prepare for potential power outages. Know what emergency plans are in place at your workplace, school and daycare center.#Wawx
