Floodwaters are receding around Grand Mound and Rochester this morning, with no reports of water in any homes, according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority.
The only issues are access, with water over roadways,” Fire Chief Robert Scott said this morning.
The Chehalis River crested at midnight less than a foot over flood stage, according to the National Weather Service.
“With (the river) cresting this low, it’s more of a nuisance,” Scott said.
Access to the Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel will be along Anderson Road until the waters recede on Moon Road and 188th, according to Scott.
The city of Centralia demobilized its emergency operation center yesterday, with no issues regarding water in residences, downed trees or power outages by late afternoon.
The Weather Service however says snow showers today means motorists should expect winter driving conditions on mountain passes. The snow level is about 3,000 feet.
