Dan Newhouse (WA-04) joined his colleagues from the Washington State Congressional Delegation in sending a letter to President Donald Trump urging approval of the State of Washington's request for an expedited Emergency Declaration amid dangerous storms and flooding across the state. "This storm is threatening lives, property, and livestock in every corner of Washington. The storm has had severe and widespread impacts on our transportation system, with major highways closed due to mudslides and communities cut off by rising water. The National Weather Service forecasts that more than a dozen Washington rivers will see major flooding in the coming days, leading to further and worsening impacts," the Delegation wrote. "We urge you to approve this request for assistance as quickly as possible." The latest flood hazard outlook from the National Weather Service forecasts "catastrophic" river flooding in parts of Northwest Washington, "considerable flooding" in a wide stretch of land from Bellingham to south of Olympia, and "moderate" flooding along the Yakima River in Yakima and Benton Counties. On Wednesday, December 10, Rep. Newhouse received an update from the National Weather Service and the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District. The Congressman and his district staff remain engaged with stakeholders, constituents, and the Trump Administration on the ongoing flooding.
