Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near La Conner

OpenFEMA lists 27 disaster declarations that include Skagit County, going back to 1971. The most frequent incident types were flooding (12 declarations) and severe storms (11 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Mount Vernon as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 12, severe storms 11, wildfire 1, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1970s 3, 1980s 1, 1990s 5, 2000s 8, 2010s 2 and 2020s 8. Earlier declarations include Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4775, April 28, 2024), Severe Winter Storm, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4682, January 12, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Snowstorms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding (DR-4650, March 29, 2022) and Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4635, January 5, 2022).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 3 county-based event records for Skagit County; flood events account for 3 of them. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in November 2021, with about $12 million in property damage. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.

Skagit County is the origin of 4 mapped wildfires of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 11,009 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Suiattle River, burned 4,272 acres in 2022. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Major construction near La Conner

USASpending.gov lists 9 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Skagit County since October 2021, worth about $15 million together. The Department of Homeland Security committed $3.2 million to “Removal Actions at Uscg Burrows Island, Anacortes, WA PSN-20584866” in Skagit County, awarded April 2023 (award record). Another public record is “Swinomish Maintenance Dredging,” a $2.3 million Department of Defense contract from June 2024 in Skagit County (award record). In July 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $898,000 contract for “Skagit DD #12 Equipment W/ Operator” in Skagit County, with work running to October 2023 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $857,000 Department of the Interior contract, “Fabrication/Construction of a Steel Truss Bridge,” starting July 2024 in Skagit County (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Anacortes (about 18,148 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Rebuilds and remodels around La Conner

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Skagit County. The nearest is in Whatcom County, about 24 miles away. Another public record is “Build Armory in Bellingham Training Facility and to Install Roof at Blain Station Sally Port,” a $1.9 million Department of Homeland Security contract from September 2024 in Whatcom County (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. Burlington is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

Emergency equipment access around La Conner

The Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Washington. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Oak Harbor, look to the agencies covering Island County rather than assuming the same routes.
