Labor Day is a time to celebrate the people whose hard work keeps our communities strong, and some of the most important work happens behind the scenes.

Every day, King County's operations and maintenance crews inspect, maintain, and repair the levees, revetments, floodwalls, pump stations, and other flood risk reduction infrastructure that help safeguard people, homes, businesses, and the environment throughout King County.

This year, in addition to their regular responsibilities, these dedicated professionals have been repairing flood facilities damaged during the historic December 2025 floods, helping restore protection along the Green and Cedar rivers before the next flood season.

The King County Flood Control District is proud to fund this critical work, but it's the skill, dedication, and commitment of King County staff who make it happen.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, join us in thanking these public servants for protecting our communities: today and every day.

🚨 Have you taken time to prepare for the unexpected?

September is National Preparedness Month – a reminder that preparedness isn’t something we should think about only when disaster is on the horizon.

A few simple steps now can make a big difference later. Know your risks. Make and practice an emergency plan. Check your emergency supplies. And get to know your neighbors so you can look out for one another when help may not be immediately available.

Our latest blog offers practical ways you can use September to get prepared for emergencies, and with flood season beginning in October, it’s also the perfect time to Be Flood Ready. 🌊

Read the blog and learn more about preparing yourself, your family, and your community.

💭🌊 Happy National Thoughtful Day!

Being thoughtful means considering how our actions today can affect others tomorrow. That’s a pretty good description of flood risk reduction, too.

At the King County Flood Control District, we think ahead, investing in projects, maintaining flood infrastructure, restoring ecosystems, and working with communities to reduce the risks posed by flooding.

Thoughtful flood risk reduction means asking important questions: Where are people most vulnerable? How can we help protect homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure? How can we work with natural systems like rivers and wetlands? And how can today's investments help build safer, more resilient communities for generations to come?

This National Thoughtful Day, take a moment to think about the ways we can all look ahead, plan wisely, and make choices that help our communities thrive. 💙

♀️ Happy Women’s Equality Day!

Today, we recognize the importance of equality and the contributions of women who have helped shape our communities, our region, and our future.

At the King County Flood Control District, equality is an important part of how we approach our work. Flood risk doesn’t affect every community in the same way, which is why we strive to consider equity and the needs of diverse communities as we invest in flood risk reduction, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience.

Building safer, healthier, and more resilient communities means making sure everyone has a voice and that the benefits of public investments are accessible to all.

This Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the progress made toward equality, and recommit to building a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 💙

💙🌎 It’s Be Kind to Humankind Week!

Kindness can take many forms. Sometimes, it’s as simple as lending a helping hand. Other times, it means doing the work today that helps protect our neighbors tomorrow.

At the King County Flood Control District, our work to reduce flood risks is one way we help care for our communities. From maintaining and improving flood infrastructure to restoring river and wetland ecosystems, we work to help make communities safer and more resilient.

And flood preparedness is another way we can show kindness to one another. Knowing your flood risk, having a plan and taking steps to protect your home and family can help reduce the impacts of flooding, not only for you, but for your neighbors and community, too.

This Be Kind to Humankind Week, let’s remember that looking out for one another is something we can all do. 💙
