Rainfall of one to five inches over the past few days has increased
soil moisture to high levels across western Washington. Heavy
rainfall of up to 1 to 3 inches is expected through Wednesday,
especially in the higher elevations.
This amount of rain will put extra pressure on soil instability,
leading to an increased threat of landslides.
Two landslides have already been reported in various locations in
western Washington including the Leschi neighborhood in Seattle and
near Union. More landslides are possible.
