Floodwaters in the Pacific Northwest inundated homes, forced rescues and shuttered schools as a trio of deluges set rainfall records.
Swollen rivers began to crest at record highs Monday. Photos showed downtown Sumas, Washington, a town along the Canadian border, inundated with floodwaters. Cars were stuck in the streets of Bellingham, Washington, city officials said. Two— most likely resulting from saturated soils — sent debris onto Interstate 5, blocking part of the state’s most important roadway. Winds gusted at nearly 60 mph at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Floodwaters rushed through several Northwest towns, including Hamilton, Washington, along the Skagit River about 65 miles northeast of Seattle. Vandiver said that most everyone fled Hamilton over the weekend and that she had yet to hear of any rescues.
