Original Post 9:30 AM info: It is supposed to be a wild weather day in Everett, Washington and if this morning is any indication the forecasters are right on target.

Everett Fire and Police were called out around 8:30 AM to the area near Seacrest Marina on Highway 529 between Marysville and Everett after fast-rising water flooded parking areas and low lying roadways near Seacrest Marina on 34th Avenue N.E.

Several employees cars were flooded by high water and a few climbed on top of shipping containers to stay safe.

Highway 529 southbound was closed by the Washington State Patrol to make things safe for Everett and Marysville first responders.

The highway reopened after about an hour and a half.

There were no reports of injuries.

Everett Police shut down both directions of West Marine View Drive just south of the Alverson bridge after flooding made the road impassable for most vehicles.

Some drivers did get stuck while others driving large semis and trucks made it through.

As of this writing (10:30 AM) Everett Public Works has the roadway closed between Legion Park and about the 400 block of West Marine View Drive.

No ETA for opening.

We’ll continue to monitor reports of issues and remind you that very high winds are expected after 1 PM in Everett and Snohomish County. Well will update as we get information.
