SKAGIT COUNTY, WA. December 10, 2025 — Skagit County is experiencing major flooding and is operating under a ‘LEVEL THREE – GO’ evacuation. All residents living within the 100-year floodplain should evacuate to high ground immediately. Do not wait.

The Skagit River is predicted to crest at record-setting levels over the next two days. The city of Concrete is expected to see a crest at 46.13 feet and Mount Vernon is predicted to crest at 42.13 feet. In 2021, the Skagit River set records at 38.93 feet in Concrete and at 33.11 feet in Mount Vernon. WA State Governor Ferguson has declared a statewide emergency in response to historic flooding across the state.

Safety Reminders During Floods

The Skagit County Emergency Operations Center is working with partner agencies to survey the county and close roads impacted by flood waters. The Skagit County Sheriff’s Office will work with emergency response agencies to help evacuate communities as needed.

* Do not drive on dikes or over flooded roadways. Practice “turn around, don’t drown.”

* Follow all road closure and cautionary signs and do not drive around barricades. Water can be deeper and faster-moving than it looks, making driving through any moving water very dangerous.
