Some parts of Pierce County are seeing snow or a rain/snow mix. Crews are actively monitoring our main roads and will plow or apply deicer as needed.

Due to a road closure on State Route 410, crews are not able to access the Greenwater area to plow. Crews will monitor the closure and send crews to the area as soon as possible.

⚠️ Safety reminders for driving in winter weather:
• Leave early, take your time, and leave plenty of space between vehicles.
• Use extra caution on hills, bridges, curves, and shaded areas.
• Give road crews and other responders room to work.

The US National Weather Service Seattle Washington has issued a Flood Warning for Pierce County until Friday morning.

✔️ Property owners who live along rivers and creeks should take steps now to build an emergency kit, secure their belongings, and make a plan for their family and pets/livestock.
✔️ Stay away from river edges and do not drive or walk through flooded areas.
✔️ If you live near a river or creek that floods frequently, be prepared to leave quickly. Agree to evacuation orders issued by authorities.

We are working with local cities and towns across the County to ensure everyone is prepared, including sandbag distribution.
