Emergency officials in Auburn issued a “Level 3, Go Now” Evacuation Order for the north part of the city late Saturday night, due to flooding of the Green River.
Very late in the evening, the city notified residents and businesses south of 277th east of SR 167, west of the Green River, and north of 42nd to leave.
That includes the Trail Run community, the Copper Gate Apartments and surrounding neighborhoods.
As the river seeped into those neighborhoods, it made some roads impassable, including Auburn Way North, State Route 167, B St. N.W. and I St. N.E.
The city has set up shelters at Auburn Community and Event Center on 9th S.E. and Ray of Hope Day Resource Center on Auburn Way S.
