The City of Kent is warning residents to stay off levees and avoid flooded areas as crews continue monitoring and repairing flood protection systems.
City officials say people walking, sightseeing, or taking photos on levees or in flooded areas put themselves at risk and slow the work of first responders and public works crews who are actively assessing conditions and making repairs.
The advisory applies to non-emergency personnel, including sightseers and photographers. Officials stress that staying clear of levees helps ensure public safety and allows crews to respond quickly if conditions worsen.
Residents seeking the latest flood updates are encouraged to visit KentWA.gov or follow the City of Kent on Facebook, X, or Instagram for official information.
Officials continue to urge caution as high water levels remain in some areas.
