Areas we cover
Lynnwood and the cities around it sit on very different ground, and how water reaches a house has a lot to do with which one you are in.
Call (425) 380-0446 · Answered 24/7- Lynnwood
- the Scriber Creek drainage basin, and a city that has been working a documented flooding problem along it for two decades.
- Edmonds
- waterfront to hills, with the Perrinville Creek watershed prioritised by the city for stormwater work and formally mapped landslide hazard areas.
- Mountlake Terrace
- drains to Hall Creek and Lake Ballinger, with the city publishing its own analysis of the causes of flooding along the creek.
- Mill Creek
- eleven drainage basins in under five square miles, and a responsibility split that puts private catch basins on the owner or the association.
- Mukilteo
- steep ground falling toward the Sound, where the city names localised flooding and landslide hazards as its central stormwater concern.
- Everett
- mapped floodplain at one end, mapped landslide hazard at the other, and hardpan underneath a good deal of it.
- Shoreline
- Boeing Creek, much of which runs under the city in culverts rather than across it.
Why the local detail matters
A crawl space in older Lynnwood housing and a sloped lot above the Sound in Mukilteo are different jobs. Knowing which one you have before anyone arrives saves a visit, and sometimes saves doing the same work again next winter.
