PACIFIC, Wash. — A levee on the White River failed early Tuesday, prompting Level 3 "Go Now" evacuation notices near Pacific. Those living near 3rd Avenue Southeast and Butte Road need to evacuate. Many people were woken up by first responders, who were dispatched to alert residents that they needed to leave.

A levee has breached on the rising Green River, just east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in western Washington, as another atmospheric river dumps rain over the Pacific Northwest.

King County dispatch reported a breach in the Desimone levee, which could create “life threatening flash flooding” to the east side of the levee, NWS Seattle said in its warning.
