I talked to Mike this morning, so 8:00 PM update:
1) The West Hill rain gage showed 3.5 inches of rain since Sunday morning at 8:00 AM.
2) Ripley Lane is flooded and closed. We are working with the State and Community Services to open up the pedestrian/bike trail for car access from the north.
3) There is water across the roadway at Lincoln and Monterray at the north end of Renton. Crews are out working on removing debris from the system.
4) There are full drainage ditches along some roadways in Kennydale, but no road closures at this time.
5) Some street flooding at Glenwood Ave. NE – capacity related.
6) Oakesdale under I-405 was flooded and closed for a while. Debris has been cleared from catch basins, the Oakesdale underpass is now open.
7) Hardie is flooded and closed again at the railroad tracks.
8) Late breaking word – Duvall Ave. Closed. More information on this shortly.
9) The Clarion Hotel on East Valley highway has a private parking lot flooding problem.
9) No landslides in Renton so far.
10) Two residences in low spots near Chuck’s Donuts have flooding problems.

As of 5am this morn we are obviously battling with capacity problems. Ripley Lane is under water with signs posted, Oaksdale under I-405 is under water, the lift station at that location is running at full capacity also. We have two houses taking on water in the low spot behind Chucks donuts on NE 4th, FD is on site with Storm water verifying that it is capacity and not a plugged drain. Water over roadway signs already in place at Dennys in the North end. We have inspected the pond at the golf course, the flooding there is also due to capacity, but the new box culvert under Maple Valley Hwy is doing it’s job. The Clarion Motel at 3700 E Valley Hwy has drain problems in their parking lot threatening their front office, we will do what we can to help, but this one is a private matter.
Any questions, call
more roads flooded
Avoid Puget Drive past Rolling Hills and go around via other routes — there’s a couple feet of water that’s breached the ditch on the south side of Puget Drive and it’s across the road at the dip near SE 19th.
Cars are driving through, but you risk flooding your engine or car.
That’s as of 12:30PM today.
Re: more roads flooded
Puget Drive cleared up now through the dip by Rolling Hills.
5:30PM
