A series of atmospheric river systems is expected to bring very heavy rain to Western Washington this week.
According to KIRO 7’s Pinpoint Meteorologists, we can expect an average of two to five inches of rain to fall in the lowlands from Monday through Thursday.
This could cause some of our area rivers to flood.
Sandbags can reduce damage from flooding when used correctly. King County works with partners to distribute sandbag materials to the public for free.
After a flood, you are responsible for removing sandbags on your property. Your city or neighborhood may have rules about how to remove and dispose of sandbags. Information on how to dispose of both clean and contaminated sand can be found here.
You can get sandbag materials at the following locations:
