Record rain and snow will cause floods, possible landslides, and higher avalanche risks across western Washington state, with more forecast to fall through the weekend.
Residents living in the Skokomish Valley area of Mason County are under an evacuation order due to rising water and "imminent flooding," the county said in a news release.
The alert, issued Thursday, told people to "evacuate the area immediately or be prepared to shelter in place for at least 72 hours."
