11 p.m.: End of KING5.com's minute-by-minute updates

10:45 p.m.: Interstate 5 detour route

Viewers wanted to know why SR 7 is not recommended as a detour route. Here's what WSDOT says:

Our primary I-5 detour route is on interstates through the Tri-Cities and our secondary detour routes are two-lane mountain highways through Yakima. These routes add hundreds of miles to trips and require travel over mountain passes.

Working with the Washington State Patrol and local communities, we have started to allow trucks that are carrying emergency supplies and extremely perishable goods to use SR 7, a much shorter alternate route, on a case-by-case basis. This two-lane route can't carry much additional traffic, so we ask drivers to stay off SR 12 in the Chehalis area so we can keep emergency response, local and truck traffic moving. We estimate that this I-5 closure is costing haulers approximately $4 million per day.

9:55 p.m.: Country Doctor toy drive

The Sewage treatment plants at both Sekiu and Clallam Bay are over capacity and overflowing.

2:00 p.m.: Emergency declared - Pacific County and the cities of South Bend, Raymond, Long Beach, and Ilwaco have declared an emergency and activated the Emergency Operations Center in South Bend in response to Sunday's and Monday's wind storm. Power is out to the majority of Pacific County. The Bonneville Power Authority main transmission lines between Aberdeen and Raymond are down. The public should plan for an extended power outage, lasting from two to seven additional days. All main highways into and out of Pacific County are also closed. Crews are clearing hundreds of downed trees and clearing mud slides. The Department of Transportation estimates that some roads may be open beginning today. Most major county roads are passable for emergency vehicles only. The County recommends that people not travel unless absolutely necessary until all roads are confirmed open and passable.

River flooding has occurred due to high rainfall, winds and tides. However, the worst of flooding has subsided. Coastal flood warnings are continuing through Wednesday.

Eastmont Park & Ride or the Edmonds Amtrak Station. Community Transit supervisors will be at Everett Station to direct train riders to the Seattle buses.

Passengers who usually take the Sounder from Edmonds to Seattle can take Community Transit Route 404, which boards just west of the Edmonds Amtrak Station, for service to and from downtown Seattle.

Also, Sounder train passengers who travel from Everett to Edmonds have two bus options:

- Sound Transit Route 532 travels from Everett Station to the Ash Way Park & Ride, where riders can transfer to a Route 114, 115 or 116 bus to the Edmonds train station; or

- Community Transit Route 201 travels from Everett Station to both Ash Way Park & Ride and Lynnwood Transit Center, where connections can be made with Routes 114,115 and 116 to Edmonds.

Additional afternoon service between Seattle and Everett is not scheduled because passengers generally use existing transit options,

including Sound Transit Route 510, to return to Snohomish County.

A decision on additional service for Thursday, Dec. 6, will be made at a later time.
