STEHEKIN, Wash. — Chelan County Emergency Management has issued Level 3 evacuation orders for the community of Stehekin.
Level 3 evacuation notices mean “Leave now.”
The evacuation is for “the area from just north of Moore Point through the Stehekin Valley, including the Stehekin landing and west to High Bridge,” CCEM said in a Facebook post.
All residents in the mentioned areas are asked to leave immediately since emergency services may not be available as conditions worsen.
