Washington is experiencing historic flooding, with Governor Bob Ferguson declaring a state of emergency. The governor says there have been more than 1,200 rescues and evacuations across more than 10 counties in the state since the flooding began. Now, Washington residents are coming together to support their communities.


Homes, cars, businesses — the destruction is almost unimaginable. So many people in our region need your help. Thousands don't know when they'll be able to go home or what they will be able to salvage.

Together, we can help survivors of the historic floods. Thank you to everyone who donated on KIRO 7's Day of Giving to support those who have lost so much. You can continue to help by clicking on the donation buttons below.


Local Salvation Army units are preparing to assist those most impacted by flooding.

“As a long-standing service partner in the region, The Salvation Army will continue to meet the need during this time,” said Lieutenant Colonel Cindy Foley, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army Northwest Division. “Additional emergency disaster teams are ready to deploy and assist communities as they are needed in the days ahead and as it is safe to do so.”

The Salvation Army’s Northwest Division will need support from local communities to continue serving those in need. Monetary donations enable disaster responders to immediately address specific needs. To donate online, click here.

The American Red Cross has set up a series of shelters for those who have been forced from their homes or chose to evacuate as a precaution.

KIRO 7 spoke with the Regional Communications Manager, who said they’ve gotten many generous donations of items, food, and water. However, they have many who come in with medical and dietary needs. The best way to help is to donate monetarily, if you can. If you’d like to contribute, click here.


Aftermath of the atmospheric river is severely impacting the blood supply in our region.

More than 137 people have canceled their appointments to donate blood and three blood drives had to be canceled because of flooding.

As the holidays approach, Bloodworks Northwest may soon be forced to declare a Code Red.

Every donation matters. It ensures that local hospitals have the blood needed for cancer and trauma patients, especially Type O, Type A, and Platelets.
