SEATTLE — The Tolt, Snoqualmie, Pilchuck and Snohomish rivers spilled over their banks after heavy rain Monday.
Pushed higher by steady rainfall, the Tolt River reached a Phase 3 flood alert level Tuesday morning, with moderate and widespread flooding possible upstream of Carnation, according to the King County Flood Warning Center.
There was water across Tolt River Road Northeast in the vicinity of the San Souci neighborhood.
On Tuesday evening, King Co. closed their Flood Warning Center but advised they would continue monitoring river levels and conditions.
By 4:30 p.m. on Tues., the Tolt, Snoqualmie and Green Rivers were at Flood Phase 2. Cedar River was down to Flood Phase 1.
Rivers elsewhere in King County continued to run high and fast as a result of a storm that brought heavy, persistent rainfall to much of Western Washington.
In Carnation, a rescue team on a raft pulled a driver from his SUV after he ran into trouble near the Blue Heron Golf Course Monday.
