As many of you who live or work in the Auburn, Kent, Renton, South Seattle, or Tukwila areas have probably heard, the Howard Hanson Dam will be unable to hold full capacity for a while. The dam, which has been keeping the Green River out of the Green River Valley for the last 50 years, is still quite structurally sound, however, it was installed in a gorge that was already partially blocked by a 10,000 year old landslide. This landslide is starting to leak water, which causes great concern to the army core of engineers, and should also to everyone in who lives in, or operates a business in the valley below.
King County has issued this warning on their website:
Residents, businesses and farms below the Howard Hanson Dam in the Green River Valley should prepare now for a higher risk of flooding.
The higher risk is due to water seeping more rapidly through an earthen bank next to the dam after record high water last winter. Until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) can make repairs, it must limit the amount of flood water it stores behind the dam.
If heavy and prolonged rain occurs this flood season (roughly October through March), many homes and businesses in the valley that don't typically see flood water--including parts of Auburn, Kent, Renton, South Seattle and Tukwila--could be flooded.
Evacuations in some communities are possible. Key transportation routes and transit service could be disrupted, and power outages and sewage back-ups are possible even outside the immediate flood zone.
