In Auburn, city officials monitoring the Green River activated their emergency operations center to Level One. But the Army Corps of Engineers said the chance of any major flooding was low. Workers released water from the Howard Hanson Dam as a precaution Monday morning, but the Corps said the pool in the reservoir was still at low levels and could easily handle more rain.
Flooding along the Green River has been a concern since a storm in early 2009 damaged a reservoir wall, affecting how much water the dam could safely hold back.
A recorded flood-information hotline is updated each hour for citizens wanting information in flood areas in King County. The number is 206-296-8200 or 1-800-945-9263. King County road closures.
