Washington state is currently experiencing catastrophic flooding due to two atmospheric rivers, prompting Governor Ferguson to declare a statewide emergency. Evacuation orders have been issued for multiple communities, including Orting and Sedro-Woolley, as floodwaters rise to historic levels. The Snoqualmie River has reached its highest level in a decade, and similar conditions are expected across King, Snohomish, and Skagit counties. With heavy rains continuing to impact the region, dangerous flooding threatens millions, and state officials are bracing for potential evacuations affecting up to 100,000 residents. Efforts are underway to rescue those trapped by rising waters, while pet-friendly shelters have been made available for displaced families.
