* 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, Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Skagit and Whatcom. In west central Washington, King, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston. * WHEN...From 10 AM PST this morning 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

Summary

With its towering elevation and impressive size, it offers a challenging and rewarding experience for mountaineers. Rising to an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters (6,562 feet), Spring Mountain provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

During the winter season, the mountain is blanketed in a thick layer of snow, creating excellent conditions for winter mountaineering and skiing. The snowpack range varies each year but typically accumulates between 2 to 3 meters (6.5 to 10 feet), offering thrilling opportunities for snow sports enthusiasts.

Situated amidst the rugged wilderness, Spring Mountain feeds several creeks and rivers with its snowmelt runoff. These waterways, such as Clear Creek and Spring River, benefit from the mountain's melting snow, providing a vital source of freshwater for the local ecosystem.

The name "Spring Mountain" potentially derives from the presence of natural springs in the area. These springs are known for their pristine water and have been historically valued by indigenous peoples and early settlers alike. While there may not be specific legends or lore associated with Spring Mountain, its name carries a rich cultural significance rooted in the natural resources it provides.
