Beaver dam bursts, floods buildings in Duvall

Nov 5, 2012, 1:49 PM | Updated: 5:50 pm

King County emergency workers are at the scene of a muddy flood in Duvall.

“Our best estimate is that a naturally occurring beaver dam gave way. And with it, all that sediment, the mud that comes with that, flowed down,” explained Lynne Miller with the King County Office of Emergency Management.

Miller told KING-5 water, from a roughly 3-acre pond, is flooding the fields and roadways in the area of State Route 203 and NE 124th Street.

Several buildings are surrounded with mud and water.
