Many Washingtonians in Orting were under evacuation orders that were lifted recently.

I visited to hear from local officials and previous mayors who had made investments in setback levies. Their work prevented worse impacts to Orting and other places along the Puyallup River.

In the Mount Rainier foothills southeast of Seattle, Pierce County sheriff’s deputies rescued people at an RV park in Orting, including helping one man in a Santa hat wade through waist-deep water.

Record flooding threatens Washington, Governor declares statewide emergency
Residents of western Washington state are packing up valuables and preparing to flee as heavy rain causes rivers to rise. An atmospheric river is swelling rivers toward record levels, with major flooding expected in areas like the Skagit River, north of Seattle.

After several days of weather response, the person managing this account is tired. But we still have closed roads due to flooding. Appreciate if y'all would NOT try to drive through water. Make sure to check out our real-time travel map for closures: wsdot.com/Travel/Real-...

It’s bad. Highway 2 is now closed, the Snohomish valley is flooded (farmers helping farmers move animals and equipment to safety), the Skykomish River is raging, houses are under water, many smaller towns like Orting have been evacuated. Mother Nature is pissed off! Keep yourself safe!
