Cleanup, assessing damage begins in Whatcom cities hit hard by flooding
Lummi Nation remained isolated by floodwaters in the Nooksack River delta early Friday, Nov. 17, as communities upstream in Everson, Nooksack and Sumas continued the Herculean task of removing waterlogged belongings and debris, assessing damage and planning repairs after a three-day Pineapple Express storm triggered widespread flooding across Western Washington and British Columbia. Slater Road was open and Haxton Way opened at 10 a.m. Friday, the Whatcom County Public Works Department said at its website.
