NEW AT NOON: Guests evacuated from Monroe Motel MONROE – The Monroe Motel on Old Owens Road had to evacuate guests after nearby Woods Creek Road pushed over its banks and flooded the mom and pop motel.Manager Nancy Hill woke early this morning and found her home, located among the motel buildings, had become an island surrounded by water. Over night, water from Woods Creek seeped into the motel’s eight units and was standing several feet high, she said. The mom and pop motel is made up of two single-story wings. It also includes two cabins which she also are submerged in water. “The water is at least up to our knees,” she said. The owners told her to evacuate visitors yesterday and hunker down. Hill isn’t sure if the owner’s have insurance, but there’s nothing they could do to keep the flood waters from coming. “They told us there’s nothing we can do,” she said. “Mother Nature is going to do what she’s going to do.” Meanwhile, Hill is moving everything in her home she can to higher places, and she’s watching. This morning she could see the normally placid creek boiling past, the water coming over a nearby bridge like a waterfall. “It’s scary,” she said. “I woke up at 5:30 this morning and my house was completely surrounded by water.” Officials in Monroe continue to monitor the Skykomish River. The river level near downtown on Lewis Street seems to be holding steady, Brad Feilberg, engineering director for Monroe said. “It’s hovering, it’s back and forth,” he said. |
