"Pacific Northwest Battling Severe Flooding and Evacuations Amid Relentless Rainfall"

Heavy rainfall in Western Washington has caused rivers to flood neighborhoods and resulted in road closures. While most rivers are receding, the Stillaguamish River has reached record-high water levels. Some homes have been flooded, and water rescues have been necessary. Authorities are urging people to heed warnings and not drive through flooded areas. The weather is expected to improve in the coming days, but more rain and mountain snow are forecasted for the weekend.
