Levee Breach in Tukwila, Washington Averts Disaster
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Crews in Tukwila, Washington, swiftly reinforced an earthen levee after a small breach on December 15th, following a week of intense rainfall. The breach led to an evacuation order for parts of three suburbs, but no injuries were reported. The levee, located along the Green River, had been under close watch due to unusually high water levels. Despite earlier efforts to manage water with a seepage blanket, the levees stability remained a concern. The immediate area is now managed, but future impacts are still possible. The National Weather Service refined the flash flood warning to a smaller area.
