Inundation: Flood water 'higher than we've seen in years'

EVERETT — High water caused mayhem for many in Snohomish County on Saturday as rivers reached major flooding levels.

Low-lying roads in the eastern and northern parts of the county were flooded by the Snohomish, Stillaguamish and Skykomish rivers after days of heavy rain in the Cascade Mountains and foothills.

Volunteers in Sultan were at the ready with sandbags to protect homes and businesses as water from the Skykomish inundated Main Street. The Stillaguamish raged at the Granite Falls Fish Ladder as onlookers stood on the deck snapping photos.

“The heavy rainfall over the last 48 hours led to flooding rivers,” said National Weather Service forecaster Johnny Burg in Seattle.
