Watch video of Snoqualmie Falls as the river hits Phase 3 flood alert

An atmospheric river brought up to 7 inches of rain in the Olympic and Cascade mountains, pushing the Snoqualmie River to a Phase 3 flood alert level on Tuesday.

Many rivers across Western Washington crested Tuesday evening or were in the process of doing so early Wednesday morning. Those floodwaters slowly moved downstream throughout Wednesday morning, according to the King County Flood Warning Center.

Many locations on the upper reaches of rivers, like Snoqualmie Falls, are expected to be below flood stages by late Wednesday.
