There will be an elevated risk of flooding in Aberdeen on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. NOAA’s
predicted high tide at Aberdeen on Tuesday is 11.85 feet (MLLW datum) at 2:06 PM. The National
Weather Service is forecasting that the actual tide may be 1.6 feet higher than NOAA’s prediction (13.45
feet MLLW) due to strong winds and low pressure. Rainfall is forecasted to begin early Tuesday morning
and continue through the day. The combination of a very high tide and rainfall can result in lowland area
flooding, especially within two to three hours before and after the high tide. All of the City’s stormwater
pump stations are operational and Public Works crews are ready to respond to flooding if it occurs.

A 30-year-old King County resident is in custody at the Grays Harbor County Jail this morning after a dangerous crime spree in the West end of Aberdeen yesterday. Around 7:23 AM, Aberdeen Officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the 2700 block of Simpson Avenue. A vehicle was missing a license plate and the occupant was acting suspicious. Aberdeen officers arrived moments later and the suspect left before police arrived. The vehicle returned to a residence in Renton and Aberdeen Officers requested they attempt to contact the owner to determine if they knew where the car was.
