"Hoquiam has experienced flooding along the Hoquiam River that hasn't been seen in many, many years," said Hoquiam Chief of Police Jeff Myers.
The water was coming over the banks of the Hoquiam River into Levee Street, C Street and caused flooding near the Humdinger restaurant. During the cresting of the river's tides, patrol officers, detectives, administrative officers and animal control as well as the Public Works Department were all diverted to assist with flood related issues.
