STORM UPDATE #7: Report damage to Snohomish County; Flood recovery webpage launched
(12/19/25; 9 a.m.)
Report flood damage to Snohomish County by Dec. 31, 2025
One of the most essential actions a homeowner or business owner who has flood damage can take right now is to the complete Snohomish County’s Damage Assessment Survey https://snohomishcountywa.gov/ReportDamage by Dec. 31, 2025. In-person assistance to complete the survey will be available on Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, at Evergreen State Fair Park, Longhouse Building 14405 179th Ave. SE (Monroe) from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. The information may help make the case for disaster recovery resources, and it needs to be provided quickly. In addition to completing the survey, owners should take lots of photographs, prepare a list of damages, and save all receipts from repair and clean-up.
