Enumclaw Mayor Liz Reynolds Declared State of Emergency in Weather Situation

Hello to all,

It is important for me to reach out to you at this time.

Yesterday, I declared a State of Emergency with the City of Enumclaw that will continue through tomorrow and this allows for the city to obtain additional resources, should we need them.

A warming shelter is set up at Mutual of Enumclaw, located in the City of Enumclaw, near City Hall, this service is in place to offer assistance for those seeking warm shelter. Cots, blankets and food are available .This service will be operational for another the next 24 hours.

Please exercise extreme caution when you are out and about. We are expecting some winds which in turn will cause more loose debris to fall.

• Use extreme caution even in your own yard
• To minimize potential flooding in your area please help us and take a moment to clear your nearby storm drain this will assist in reducing the effects from snow run-off.
• The foothills trail is closed due to extreme safety concerns.
• The golf course is closed due to extreme safety concerns.
• Highway 410 is closed going up to Greenwater due to extensive damage.
• Only residents with authorized escorts will be allowed into that area.
• Please do not cross over , under or go around  barricades. They are in place for your safety.
• Public Works is diligently working to further clear streets, addressing trees and drainage.

Folks our city has incurred considerable damage. It will take time to get around to everything.

Please be patient.

Our emergency services and well as Public Works are running at full steam… 24 hours.  They have done one heck of a job so far.

I know there we still have some outages occurring but I assure you we are doing everything that we can…

And in closing, please check in on your neighbors…. Check in on a Senior Citizen…. We will get through this together.

Thank you for your time.

Best Wishes and stay safe…

Respectfully,

Mayor Liz Reynolds

City of Enumclaw
