Isaac Evans Park in Auburn was closed until further notice Tuesday, Dec. 9 after flooding from the Green River covered portions of the park and nearby roadways, according to the City of Auburn.

City officials said Green River Road just past the park at 104th is also closed because water has overtopped the roadway.

Residents and drivers are being asked to avoid the area.

Photos shared by the city show significant flooding inside Isaac Evans Park and along the Green River corridor, including saturated grounds and rising water at Game Farm and Game Farm Wilderness Parks.

No reopening timeline has been announced, and the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning, saying that the Green River is in flood phase 4, which means major flooding may occur.

“Critical flood control levees may weaken from saturation. Sudden changes in flood conditions are possible including rapidly rising water, widespread inundation, road closures, and utility disruptions. Be alert and prepare to respond quickly,” officials said.
