* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Washington, including the following counties, in northwest Washington, Grays Harbor, Skagit and Whatcom. In west central Washington, King, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston. * WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A series of weather systems this week will bring another round of significant rainfall to western Washington through Wednesday. Preliminary liquid totals of 2 to 6 inches, locally higher in some spots, will cause additional sharp rises to area rivers. Urban and small stream flooding remains possible for areas with poor drainage. Very saturated soils will maintain increased risk for potential landslides and debris flows off of burn scars. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Standing at an impressive elevation of 2,155 meters (7,070 feet), it offers breathtaking views and a challenging climbing experience. The mountain's size is notable, with a prominence of 1,495 meters (4,905 feet), making it a striking presence in the surrounding landscape.
During the winter season, Cascade Peak receives a significant amount of snowfall, transforming it into a winter wonderland. The snowpack range varies from year to year, but it typically accumulates from late fall to early spring, providing excellent conditions for snowshoeing and skiing enthusiasts. Additionally, the mountain's snow-covered slopes contribute to the water supply of nearby creeks and rivers during the warmer months, creating a vital water source for the ecosystem.
The name Cascade Peak is believed to have derived from the cascading waterfalls that can be found on its slopes during the melt of the winter snowpack. These cascades contribute to the water runoff that feeds into the surrounding creeks and rivers. While there are no specific legends or lore associated with this mountain, its majestic presence and challenging ascent have undoubtedly captivated the imaginations of mountaineers throughout history.
