Rain topping off snow and ice on Issaquah trees has left numerable trees damaged and block seven roads and several sidewalks.
The city’s main roads are passable and most side streets have turned into a deep slushy mess. Citizens are still asked to stay home until more of the mess has melted.
Drivers who get stuck in snow or ice should not abandon their vehicles in an area that would block traffic, as those vehicles will be towed.
If, after a storm, your vehicle isn’t where you left it, call the Issaquah Police Department’s non-emergency line at 425-837-3200.
