The state of Washington has been
hammered by rainfall in recent days:
In Hoquiam, nearly 5.4 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, the weather service said. In Monroe, the total was 6.9 inches. Nearly 5 inches fell in an area near Issaquah.

Nearly 200 people in Hoquiam were cut off after a landslide caused by heavy rain blocked the only road out of the neighborhood.

Flooding threatened the water treatment plant for the Naselle Youth Camp, a correctional facility operated by the state Department of Social and Health Services, said Mark Stewart, a spokesman for the state Emergency Operations Center.
