Flood warning issued for Snoqualmie River, Tolt
The National Weather Service and Floodzilla are tracking weather and rain gages, and say the Snoqualmie River and the Tolt will bust their banks by tomorrow.
The NWS says strong west winds will raise snow levels and bring significant rain, as much as 6 inches, to the central Cascades.

DDES in our backyard? County plans to move 100-person HQ to Snoqualmie Ridge
The broad second-floor expanse of the big, beige Kendall Lake building on Douglas Avenue is mostly empty now. That's expected to change in a few months, when its suites become home to an enterprise wholly new to Snoqualmie Ridge—a King County divisional headquarters.
