ISSAQUAH, WA — Heavy rains pummeled east King County Thursday, bringing major flooding to the Issaquah area and prompting the closure of several roads throughout the region. A Phase 4 flood warning was issued for Issaquah Creek, and city officials said it was likely Thursday's weather event would meet or exceed major flooding seen in Jan. 2009.


Local news reporters posted images and videos of cars underwater at an Issaquah apartment complex Thursday morning. Eastside Fire & Rescue crews worked to reach anyone surrounded by water Thursday afternoon.

A failed culvert brought debris onto Issaquah-Hobart Road, spilling rocks and soil from the hillside onto the roadway Thursday morning. King County road crews built a berm to help redirect water away from the road and nearby homes.
