Help Us Stop the Increase of Flooding in the Snoqualmie River Valley
The floods keep coming at record levels and we want answers as to why this is happening in the lower Snoqualmie Valley.
For too long the farmers, business owners, and families in the lower valley have been told that upstream development and projects have only a minimal impact on flood levels downstream. Yet three of the four largest floods on record have been in the past four years. That’s our reality – more frequent and devastating floods.
The key issue is the cumulative impact of projects above the Snoqualmie Falls. NO studies or post-construction monitoring have been done by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the actual impact of flood levels downstream since major widening of the Snoqualmie River was completed in 2005.
New major river projects and widening efforts are in the pipeline upriver, and again, no one has answers to the cumulative impact on flood levels downstream. The Snoqualmie Valley Preservation Alliance (SVPA) was founded to give valley residents a greater voice on flood impact, policy, and mitigation. We’re all in this together. It’s time to stop pushing our problems downstream.
