Stillaguamish River flood breaks record after 6 inches of rain

EVERETT — Michelle Chevalier lives in Darrington, but she and her husband work in Arlington.

Around 9 a.m., her husband got through flood water covering Highway 530 just outside of Arlington, but within 90 minutes, the water had risen too high to get through in her SUV.

“My husband just said it was really, really bad, and you should get home as soon as can,” said Chevalier, 55.

The Stillaguamish River eclipsed its “major” flood stage Tuesday morning, far exceeding earlier forecasts, shutting down Highway 530 and topping an all-time high water mark in Arlington.
