Many Roads Still Closed Friday As Rain Continues
ISSAQUAH, WA — Dozens of road closures remained in place Friday morning after heavy rains propelled rivers beyond their flood stages throughout Western Washington Thursday.
In King County, State Route 900 remained closed in both directions near Issaquah, and State Route 169 was still closed in the Maple Valley area. Transportation officials said conditions on SR 169 had worsened overnight.
The Washington State Department of Transportation said crews were able to reopen one lane of State Route 203 near Duvall.

In Issaquah, where some of the strongest flooding occurred Thursday, a long stretch of Issaquah-Hobart Road that closed early Thursday morning remained blocked Friday morning. King County Road Services crews have been working to clear rocks that spilled onto the road from a failed culvert.
