Historic flooding in December 2025 caused significant damage to flood protection infrastructure across King County — including erosion near the Cedar River Trail and critical utilities.

The King County Flood Control District responded quickly by funding emergency repairs through a supplemental budget amendment.

Our newest blog is the first in a three-part series highlighting the emergency flood recovery projects funded during the historic December flood event. Learn how crews repaired damaged riverbanks, protected public infrastructure, and helped reduce future flood risks along the Cedar River.

🌞🏞️ Warmer days are here, but King County’s rivers and lakes are still cold!

As temperatures rise and more people head outdoors to enjoy the water, remember that cold water can be dangerous, even on a hot day. Cold water shock can occur suddenly and make it difficult to swim or stay afloat.

Before heading out, follow these cold water safety tips:
✅ Always wear a life jacket when boating, paddling, or fishing.
✅ Never enter the water alone.
✅ Check river and lake conditions before you go.
✅ Avoid alcohol and drugs when participating in water activities.
✅ Keep a close eye on children near the water.
✅ If someone falls into cold water, call 911 immediately and throw a flotation device if available.

Enjoy King County’s beautiful rivers and lakes safely this summer!

🚧 Construction is underway on the Stossel Revetment Major Repair Project along the Snoqualmie River near Carnation!

This important King County Flood Control District project will help protect Stossel Bridge, a county road, utilities, agricultural lands, and nearby properties from ongoing river erosion. The project will also include large wood structures that improve habitat for salmon and other aquatic species while strengthening the riverbank.

Erosion has damaged the revetment that protects this critical infrastructure. By making these repairs now, we're helping reduce future risks, maintain access for residents, and support a healthier river ecosystem.

Learn more about the project, what construction involves, and what residents and river users can expect during construction in our latest blog.
