EDMONDS, Wash. — King tides peaked in parts of Western Washington on Wednesday morning. The king tides peaked in Port Townsend and Bellingham.
Water is higher than usual in Seattle but isn’t expected to reach levels like early December, when king tides caused some minor flooding.
There are possibilities for some minor flooding along shorelines this week in parts of Port Townsend, Seattle, Friday Harbor and Port Angeles.
The king tides peaked around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. The tide is expected to recede to low levels later Wednesday night.
The low tides will impact at least one ferry route. The 8:30 p.m. sailing from Port Townsend and the 9:10 p.m. from Coupeville are canceled due to tidal conditions, according to Washington State Ferries.
Edmonds/Kingston or Mukilteo/Clinton are alternative routes.
Seattle is expected to see another round of king tides in mid-January.
