Event narrative

Tidal overflow flooding occurred in the late morning through early afternoon hours on 4th through 6th. Waters covered fields around Raymond, WA. The water did not rise high enough to close highway 101. The Toke Point tide gage was used to determine the time the water level rose above 11 feet, the point at which tidal overflow usually begins. The start time was the first time it rose above 11 feet on the 4th and the end time was the last time it dropped below 11 feet on the 6th.

Wider weather episode

High astronomical tides combined with elevated river levels lead to minor tidal over flow.
