Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared a severe weather state of emergency in 14 counties as severe flooding continues throughout the state.
Heavy rain, flooding and mudslides in Washington are leaving cities in turmoil with evacuation warnings, power outages and one person missing in the floodwaters, the Associated Press reported.
Nearly 50,000 Washington state electrical customers had no power Tuesday, less than at the height of the storm Monday when nearly 158,000 homes were without power. Skagit County officials are comparing the flooding to 2009, when the Skagit and Samish rivers overflowed and damaged homes, farms and infrastructure. Those in Skagit County are watching the swollen Skagit River continue to rise and are warned to expect severe flooding and possible evacuation.
And just south of the Canadian border in the community of Sumas, Washington, officials said city hall was flooded in a soaking that reminded people of severe floods in 1990.
