I've been watching the road closures, and we have multiple due to flooding across Washington State.

Various smaller / local roads in the Snoqualmie River Valley / Carnation-Fall City area are also closed, including West Snoqualmie River Road, Neal Road SE, plus several local streets like SE 24th St, SE 28th St, 308th Ave SE, and more.

There have also been closures/impacts near central WA: heavy flooding and debris have affected highways around North Bend, WA, Hyak, WA, and Cle Elum, WA.

For us in the Tri-Cities, the Yakima River near Kiona is under a flood alert, and the City of West Richland is under a Level-3 flood warning. The worst in three decades.

If you are traveling, just be aware of these closures and detours.
