Starting January 1, Washington state will require a fi****ms education class before a CPL can be issued.

Pacific County Emergency Management says the rain is finally letting up, stream levels are dropping, and it’s time to start figuring out what got damaged. The governor has declared a state of emergency and is seeking fast-tracked federal assistance, but county officials say Pacific County was not hit hard enough for most people here to qualify for direct federal help. Still, they want a clear record of what happened, and they’re asking residents to take photos, write down details, and email the information to [email protected] or [email protected]. Emergency managers say that paper trail matters, because it can strengthen the county’s case for mitigation grant money to fund projects that reduce flood damage next time.

Officials say conditions at the Lake Sylvia Dam have improved enough to downgrade the alert, but the situation is still being closely monitored. Recent heavy rain pushed water levels up and stressed the nearly 100-year-old dam, leading to the closure of Lake Sylvia State Park and surrounding trails. Crews have lowered water levels by about a foot and are clearing debris while working with state and local agencies. People living downstream along Sylvia Creek should remain alert for minor flooding, especially with more rain in the forecast.

**Grays Harbor County Declares Emergency Amid Widespread Flooding and Landslides**

**GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, Wash. —** The Grays Harbor County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) declared a county-wide state of emergency today as days of unrelenting rainfall have triggered extensive flooding, erosion, and landslides throughout the region.

County officials say the heavy rainfall, which began December 5, 2025, has saturated soils and pushed river levels to dangerous heights, destabilizing slopes and overwhelming drainage systems. Multiple areas have already experienced flooding, blocked culverts, and road closures, creating hazardous conditions for residents and emergency crews.

Among the most pressing concerns is significant riverbank erosion occurring directly next to the Grays Harbor Juvenile Detention Center. Officials warn that continued erosion could threaten the structural integrity of the facility and the safety of those inside.

In response, a broad coalition of County departments—including the Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, Roads Crew, Facilities, Environmental Health, Fairgrounds, Solid Waste, and Utilities—has mobilized to protect public safety and prevent further damage to public infrastructure.

“These conditions pose a clear danger to people, property, and essential County services,” the BOCC said in a statement announcing the emergency declaration. “We are grateful for the dedication and teamwork demonstrated by all departments as they work to safeguard our communities.”

Crews continue to monitor rivers, assess damaged roads, clear debris, and support affected residents as more rainfall is expected in the coming days. Officials urge the public to avoid flooded roadways, stay alert to changing conditions, and follow guidance from emergency management authorities.
