ESFSEW A series of atmospheric rivers will provide rounds of increasingly impactful rainfall starting on Friday and continuing through early next week. Snow levels will remain around 5000 to 6000 feet. Expect rising rivers with potential for flooding especially for rivers flowing off the Olympics and Cascades. Urban flooding and landslides are also possible throughout this period as the soil conditions remain wet.
The Whitewater River Run in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area of Washington state is a Class III to IV section of river that stretches for 11.6 miles from the wilderness boundary to the confluence with the Suiattle River.

The optimal streamflow range for the run is between 1,000 and 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs).
The run features a number of challenging rapids and obstacles, including Boulder Drop, a Class IV drop that requires precise maneuvering, and Devil's Toilet Bowl, a swirling eddy that can be difficult to navigate. Other notable rapids include The S-Turn, Carnage, and The Gorge.
Regulations for the area include a permit requirement for overnight camping in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area, which can be obtained from the ranger station. The area is also subject to Leave No Trace principles, and visitors are encouraged to practice responsible wilderness use.
