Flooding in the Green River Valley

[hollyking]

At the Seattle ACS meeting last night we talked a bit about the potential for flooding in the Green River valley. I have several friends who live in the area that would be affected by this. Please, take some time and prepare yourselves. You are all too important to me.

I am here if you need any help or information about how to prepare.

Kind of glad I live on a large hill in Tukwila and that I renewed the items in my car & home emergency preparedness kits when I was working at Boeing...

yeah... its definitely something to be watching for. being on the hill I wont have the direct flooding problems, being septic I wont have the direct sewer problems, but there will definitely be lots of secondary problems that we could be effected by.

Yup..

if the damn goes, your blown.

Almost all of all food distribution for all of the grocery stores in the Seatac area will be flooded. They are all in the Kent valley. *cough*

Auburn, Kent, Tukwilla.. yea good times.

Rain's on the case with the City of Tukwilla if you need additional feedback.

Many communications, power and data lines are in the flood affected area too. These lines serve thousands of customers who are not in the valley.

I don't know that there is enough sewage treatment capacity for the region if the Renton plant, on the banks of the Green River is shut down.
