Holy hell Skagit County
If you are on the 100 YEAR floodplain, you should evacuate IMMEDIATELY.
If you see this and know people up there, make sure they know. I'm tagging Seattle into this because yikes.

![Seattle Times * KEY UPDATE 10:33 pm
Skagit County residents told to evacuate immediately
[IMAGE: NOAA, NWS Flood Inundation Mapping (Graphic by Fiona Martin / The Seattle Times)]
All Skagit County residents living within the 100-year floodplain should evacuate immediately, county officials advised Wednesday night.
That's everything in yellow in the map above.
The 100-year floodplain includes areas along the Skagit River and most areas in the western part of the county, including parts of Mount Vernon and much of Burlington and Sedro-Woolley.
“LEVEL 3 — GO! ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN SHOULD EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT,” read the alert from Skagit County officials.](https://mastodon.murkworks.net/system/media_attachments/files/115/699/637/361/478/799/original/3484c5c61e65c56a.png)

I write this feeling like my voice is unheard, my pleas go unheard. I've knocked on every door, cried out for help countless times, but no one responds, no one offers support. I'm just starting out, and no one is helping me. I'm not asking for luxury, just to live with dignity and feed my children, free from the humiliation of others. To everyone reading this, we desperately need help, and every minute that passes only adds to our pain. Please help my children. 💔 https://gofund.me/69b0e26cb

Well. The Mount Vernon floodwall held. Or has, so far, but the record-setting crest has passed so the prospects are looking pretty good.
Now to reinforce it because worse will be coming.
Also: People were wondering how much of the 100,000 people under evacuation order were in Skagit County, since that number covered the entire affected area, not just Skagit.
I finally got an answer:
78,000
That's the Skagit County floodplain number by itself. The other 22,000 were in other parts of the flooding area, particularly Snohomish County, but also some areas in King County up around North Bend and also areas around Green River.
