What past disasters mean for kitchens in Snoqualmie

Since 1964, King County has been named in 33 FEMA declarations; flooding (17 declarations) and severe storms (11 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for North Bend 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. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 17, severe storms 11, earthquake 2, wildfire 1 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 4, 1980s 3, 1990s 8, 2000s 8, 2010s 3 and 2020s 5. The records also list 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), Bolt Creek Fire (FM-5455, September 10, 2022), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides (DR-4309, April 21, 2017).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 2 county-based severe-weather event records for King County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (2). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in January 2021, with about $474,000 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.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 2 large wildfires beginning in King County, about 16,739 acres in all. Bolt Creek (2022, 14,821 acres) was the largest. 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.

Infrastructure work around Snoqualmie

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in King County since October 2021. USASpending.gov shows a $337 million Department of Defense contract, “Howard A. Hanson Dam Additional Water Storage Project (Awsp) Fish Passage Facility (FPF) Idac,” starting October 2024 in King County (award record). The Department of Homeland Security committed $174 million to “Acceptance of Contractor Proposal for Base Seattle Cercla/Psc Homeport Phase 1b Project” in King County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Construction of Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility in Buckley, WA,” a $153 million Department of Defense contract from March 2018 in King County (award record). In October 2024, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $79 million contract for “Construction of Tahoma National Cemetery Phase 3 Development” in King County, with work running to June 2027 (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 project in Carnation, about 2,279 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Snoqualmie

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for King County. The nearest is in Snohomish County, about 39 miles away. In November 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $7.8 million contract for “Replace Harlow Fars- Nse” in Snohomish County, with work running to January 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4.4 million Department of Defense contract, “X003 Repair Electric Distribution Service SW-6, Everett,” starting January 2023 in Snohomish County (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. A remodel in Issaquah would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.

Getting emergency equipment into Snoqualmie

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. Staging and access details differ again in Sammamish, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Snoqualmie itself.
