The Pacific Northwest is getting clobbered today after our huge snowfalls and there's record flooding and landslides all over the place. I84 is shut down east of Portland for a huge landslide and I5 through Chehalis is about to be underwater. My office in downtown Chehalis is flooded right now and there's mandatory evacuations going on.
Right where I live we have 3 landslides blocking the route north and 1 south and 2 east. There was 1 west that was cleared. The kids' school flooded the fields and playground and is up to the building. The high school is flooded and lost power.
Is everyone up here okay?
The local park is underwater, but so far so good down here in Ridgefield.

We're 600' up a hill so as long as our only way in and out road stays put, we're good!
We have an ice storm. Waiting to lose my power.
3 feet of snow in the Wenatchee Valley, with more to come, and then rain. Gonna get nasty next week.
Not excited to be moving / remodeling in this crap
The dam behind my house is literally full with water cresting the spillway.
Spillway:
Yay! It's all working like it's supposed to and nobody is flooding.
Can't say the same for Centralia. It's bad up there.
Normal here, a couple of roads regularly close.
I'm not tying off a boat the the chimney yet.
Doing okay in Portland so far, but hoping others in the region are managing okay as other spots seem to have it far worse.
Checking in from Port of tacoma, everything is OK here.
Let me know if there is any assistance we can offer.
Yikes. If you hadn’t posted this us east coasters wouldn’t have know it was happening beyond a couple of “atmospheric river in the PNW” comments on the news a few days ago. Stay safe all!
I'm on top of the hill looking over Port of Tacoma so I won't have to deal with any flooding but it's windy as junk up here. My commute to Seattle was surprising quick and painless.
I-5 closed in Lewis County for 20 miles now.
My work office is literally underwater. Big boss is on the phone reassigning me to another office TDY for 3 months.
Milwaukie/Portland Johnson Creek area checking in and all is soaking wet and blown.
Thankfully no major issues right now, hopefully Johnson Creek and other water ways will stay put.
Doing fine in NE Portland; it goes downhill mostly north of here to the Columbia.
Pleased to see that peeking at a forecast there's not much rain 'til a still really-reasonable quarter inch each on Tue/Wed next week. I hope that's not a hyper-local outlook for the sake of all the lower-lying places.
Major old timey ice storm. I hooked my little generator up to the gas furnace so we are warm anyway.
90 Kmh wind forecast for later today. I expect this one might come down on the line beside us. It has developed quite a lean even with no wind.
Lost a tree in Downtown Portland:
NW Park and Davis
