Road Alert: Road Closures in Unincorporated King County, Safety Reminders, and Resources

King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 12/10/2025 01:07 PM PST

Multiple roads closed throughout Snoqualmie Valley, Skykomish, southeast King County

Due to the storm, roads across the Snoqualmie Valley, Skykomish and southeast King County areas are closed due to water over the roadway, debris on the road, or slides. If you live or normally travel through these areas, we ask you avoid or limit driving during the storm, which is expected to last through Thursday. Conditions are changing quickly, and more closures may occur with little notice.

If you have to drive, we remind you to be alert and plan accordingly for traveling in the storm.

Visit MyCommute for the latest updates and a full list of unincorporated King County Road Services closures and restrictions.
Check WSDOT travel maps for state route impacts.
Look at your city or local jurisdiction's transportation pages for city updates.
Sign up for Metro Transit alerts to stay informed about delays, reroutes or closures.

If you can, avoid driving today. Water levels can rise quickly, visibility is low, and even familiar routes may become unsafe in minutes. Stay home if you’re able.

Safety reminders:

Turn Around, Don’t Drown: Never drive through flooded roads.
Don’t drive into standing water: You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away or compromised beneath the water.
Respect road closure signs: Don’t drive through barricades, they are in place to keep you safe.
Slow down and increase following distance: Heavy rain reduces visibility and stopping time.

Road Services crews are out 24/7 responding to reports, closing unsafe areas, and clearing what they can as conditions allow.

Thank you for your patience and for helping keep our community safe during this storm.

Information concerning state and some city routes is provided by non-King County agencies and included for the convenience of the public. If it is critical that you have more current information about the status of a road or a service request, please call 206-477-8100 or 800-527-6237. In major events, phone lines will be very busy and your patience is requested. Please do not e-mail for emergency road status information.

Please note that short-term road closures related to traffic collisions or utility work such as down powerlines are not reported via Road Alerts or My Commute as those closures are managed by outside agencies. During normal working hours, King County will attempt to post closure information of this type on our X (Twitter) account.

DISCLAIMER: King County Road Services provides Road Alerts as a service to the public. While we try to provide accurate and timely information, estimates of the nature and duration of closures are subject to variables such as weather and traffic conditions that are beyond the control of King County and, therefore, difficult to predict. People relying on this information should do so at their own risk. Neither King County nor its employees or agents shall be liable for the accuracy of this information, or any actions taken as a result.
