Flooding Crisis in Skagit and Whatcom Counties
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Communities in Skagit and Whatcom counties face severe flooding, with current conditions potentially surpassing the 2021 floods. A GO NOW evacuation order was issued for the one hundred-year flood zone, but experts like Allison Pfeiffer, a geology professor, explain that this term is misleading due to changing climate patterns. The Nooksack Rivers overflow creates international tensions and devastates local communities, while human-made levees complicate flood management. A better approach may be allowing rivers more room to expand, but this comes with legal and financial challenges.
