Heavy Rain in King County, Washington

In Shoreline, heavy rainfall caused a section of concrete to give way in the tunnel leading to a Metro bus barn under the I-5 HOV lanes between 165th and 175th Streets. Repairs to those lanes were completed two days later.

A landslide closed southbound Schuster Parkway in Tacoma on the afternoon of Oct 10th after a burst of heavy rain moved through Pierce County. The heavy rain and wind also caused sporadic power outages and some spinouts elsewhere in Pierce County. A part of I-705 was also closed at South 11th Street due to flooding.

Runoff from the heavy rainfall overwhelmed drainage systems near Tacoma's Stadium High School resulting water and debris running through the campus and tumbling into and flooding the football field.

In addition, wind knocked down tree limbs onto a soccer field near Meeker Middle School, injuring an adult and two kids. All were okay after receiving medical care.
