6 people, 5 dogs rescued from Christmas Day flooding in Whatcom County
Six people and five dogs were rescued during flooding in Whatcom County on Christmas Day.
Early Christmas morning, patrol deputies and members of the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management notified people in the Marietta area that they would likely need to evacuate due to the threat of flooding, according to the sheriff’s office.
Shortly after, the combination of ice building up at the mouth of the Nooksack River and King tides caused water to start to enter homes and cover Marine Drive.
Members of Whatcom County Public Works, deputies, search and rescue volunteers and members of Whatcom County 911 worked together to evacuate and rescue six people and five dogs by boat.
