In December 2025, Washington experienced historic flooding across the state. Governor Bob Ferguson declared a state of emergency as a result. There were thousands of rescues across more than 10 counties, and one person died.


Homes, cars, businesses — the destruction was unimaginable and many are still cleaning up.
