Flood damage could top $10 million locally

Damage from the flooding across Whatcom County in the wake of three-day Pineapple Express storm could reach $7 million to $10 million, officials said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 16. One man is missing after the atmospheric river that hit Western Washington, dumping a month’s worth of rain in less than 72 hours and pushing the Nooksack River over its banks from Acme in the South Fork Valley to the delta community of Marietta.
