AUBURN, Wash. — The city of Auburn has changed its evacuation levels for some residents following extreme flooding of the Green and White Rivers.
Several days ago, Level 3 ‘Go Now’ evacuation orders were put in place for certain communities.
As water levels decrease, some of those residents have downgraded evacuation orders to a Level 2 ‘Get Set.’
Residents in the following areas may return home with extreme caution:
- The Copper Gate Apartments
- Trail Run Neighborhood
- Monterey Park Neighborhood
- Some businesses along Auburn Way North at and south of 42nd St. NE
- Businesses east of B St. NW
- Unaffiliated King County land on the east side of Auburn Way North north of S. 284th St.
Level 2 (GET SET) means residents should remain alert and ready to evacuate again if conditions change. Flooding, road access issues, and infrastructure impacts may still be present.
A reminder that these conditions can change suddenly and you may be asked to evacuate immediately.
However, some areas are still, under a Level 3 ‘Go Now’ evacuation order:
- Some homes, businesses and areas between B St. NW and Auburn Way N
- The Staples Fulfillment Delivery Center along Frontage Road NW
These locations are still experiencing flooding, standing or contaminated water, and limited or unsafe access routes. Re-entry is not permitted at this time.
Anyone who needs assistance evacuating is asked to call 911.
