Snohomish County under flood watch through Wednesday
ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish River at Arlington flirted with flood stage Monday afternoon as the National Weather Service issued a flood warning near the city.
The rest of Snohomish County entered a less imminent flood watch through Wednesday morning.
Yet another soggy winter front brewing in the forecast will add to the “one, two punch” wet weather patterns of late have given regional rivers, said Steve Reedy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle.
Snow melt over the weekend and Monday morning rain gave “our first big push” to water levels.

Rain pelts Everett, bringing flood risk and road closures; Highway 529 closed due to heavy rain
EVERETT — From wind to flooding, Snohomish County is drowning in weather warnings Tuesday.
Continuous heavy rain means a flood watch until 10 a.m. Wednesday. On Tuesday morning, only the Snohomish River — in Snohomish and Monroe — neared flood stage, according to the National Weather Service. Over the coming days, minor flooding is in the forecast for the Stillaguamish River in Arlington.
Coastal areas, like Everett, were also in a separate flood advisory until 1 p.m. Tuesday.
This appeared to be prescient, as Highway 529 was briefly closed in both directions Tuesday morning at the Snohomish River Bridge as heavy rain hit Everett, leading to reports of at least four feet of water rising under the highway, authorities said.
