WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Here in Whatcom County, residents in Everson and Sumas are grappling with flooding that’s rivaled levels from 2021.

The Nooksack River surpassed previous record levels Thursday morning but has since receded to normal levels.

Residents in Sumas, Nooksack and Everson were evacuated on Wednesday.

Displaced residents can take shelter in Lynden through Friday night at the Sonlight Church on Bender Road and the North County Christ the King Church on 18th Street.

County officials say a Wednesday night landslide in Kendall damaged one home, several bridge closures and potentially the Twin View levee.

Crews are now working to assess the extent of the damage at Everson City Hall and other businesses.
