SEATTLE -- As Western Washington rivers continue to recede and cleanup begins for some communities, flooding continues along the Snoqualmie and Snohomish rivers in King and Snohomish counties.

Parts of the Snoqualmie River are still under a flood warning, notably the area around Carnation until Friday afternoon.

In Fall City, the Snoqualmie River is still swollen and moving exceedingly fast. A mile north of the barricades at Duvall, several stretches of Highway 203 are still covered with running water, though conditions on the roadway are improving.

On Thursday, residents were unable to leave Carnation either north or south, but on Friday morning, the Department of Transportation reopened Highway 203 to the King/Snohomish county line. Most of the roadway was blocked from Duvall to Monroe earlier this week.

As conditions slowly improve, residents are draining flooded basements and drying out their damaged homes.

In Snohomish, the Snohomish River receded enough to reveal a partially submerged car, but Lincoln Avenue is still covered with water at First Street. KIRO 7 reporter Michelle Millman said the river was at 28.5 feet Friday morning. Flood stage is at 25 feet. As a result, many roads around the area are still closed and barricades remain in place.

In Pierce County, conditions have improved for residents in Puyallup, where 27 homes that were in jeopardy are out of danger Friday after a levee broke in Orting. Crews with the Army Corps of Engineers have been working around the clock to repair the 700-foot levee, lifting huge boulders, some weighing up to 600 tons each, into place. Engineers said the work is expected to continue for several days and that the reinforcements to the levee are essential to preventing flooding the next time there is a storm.

In downtown Puyallup, KIRO 7 reporter Jeff Dubois said the Puyallup River has dropped 7 to 8 feet in the last 15 to 20 hours.

At a Pierce County RV park, the fast-rising waters of the South Prairie Creek washed away huge sections of the ground and left behind fallen trees and a lot of debris.

In Lewis County, a log truck driver was taken off-guard by a road that was underwater near Randle. His rig became submerged in water nearly to the top of the cab. The driver was able to get out safely but had to swim to dry ground.
