All twelve members of Washington’s congressional delegation — ten Democrats and two Republicans — have jointly signed a letter to the Trump regime requesting federal assistance to support the state’s response to the devastating floods currently impacting many regions of the Evergreen State, Senator Patty Murray’s office announced today.

Murray’s communications team observed that the state is facing a grave threat.

“The latest flood hazard outlook from the National Weather Service forecasts “catastrophic” river flooding in parts of Northwest Washington, and ‘considerable flooding’ in a wide stretch of land from Bellingham to south of Olympia. State authorities have ordered ‘GO NOW’ evacuations for the entire one hundred-year floodplain of the Skagit River valley. On Wednesday, Governor Ferguson said an estimated 100,000 Washingtonians could face evacuation orders, and declared a statewide emergency alongside his request for a federal Emergency Declaration. An Emergency Declaration would supplement state, local, and Tribal responders and allow the federal government to assist with debris removal and emergency protective measures.”

Murray’s name appears first on the letter, followed by those of Senator Maria Cantwell (D‑WA), and U.S. Representatives Suzan DelBene (D‑WA-01), U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (D‑WA-02), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D‑WA-03), Dan Newhouse (R‑WA-04), Michael Baumgartner (R‑WA-05), Emily Randall (D‑WA-06), Pramila Jayapal (D‑WA-07), Kim Schrier (D‑WA-08), Adam Smith (D‑WA-09), and Marilyn Strickland (D‑WA-10).
