Additionally, there is a flood watch for King County rivers from 6 a.m. Tuesday until late Wednesday night though the NWS indicates it's likely only the most flood-prone rivers will be affected. And even then, the flooding would be minor. 

A flood watch means conditions are favorable for flooding but it's not an imminent threat.
