Due to severe and rapidly worsening flooding, the entire area is now under a Level 3 (GO NOW) evacuation notice. Leave immediately if you are in this area. Conditions are dangerous and access routes are being lost. Do not go north; evacuate south along any of the normal routes. If you live in the Trail Run community, go east on S. 277th St. toward Lea Hill and then north.

WHAT YOU MUST DO NOW (GO NOW)

• Auburn Way North
• B Street NW
• I Street NE
• SR 167

Additional north–south routes may flood or close with little notice, and travel options are extremely limited.

City crews and regional partners are working around the clock, but there is no guarantee flood control efforts will hold. Conditions are changing rapidly and could worsen with little warning.

Do not wait. Leave now.

7AM: A wind advisory has been issued for most of Washington state. The National Weather Service in Seattle is calling for 45-50mph gusts possible. With saturated soils, this may bit more a problem than normal. It goes into effect at 10PM Sunday night, but the winds will peak tomorrow. There is a chance that some areas near Paine Field and Hansville for example could see stronger gusts. The link to the advisory is in the comments. It will also get windy in the foothill regions, the Cascades, and the east slopes of the Cascades. These areas don’t have official wind headlines yet. Will post more updates later.

Also, we already posted about this but there is a new flood watch for this upcoming week. That watch will also be linked in the comments.
