Sultan, WA – Several Sultan residents were rescued Tuesday morning after floodwaters trapped them in their homes near Mann Road, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s officials said the agency’s helicopter, SnoHawk10, was deployed to assist in the evacuation, airlifting multiple individuals to safety as flood conditions worsened. The rescue operation took place amid steady rain and standing water that made roads impassable in parts of the county.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the joint effort involved both the Search and Rescue team and the Snohomish County Volunteer Search & Rescue unit. Photos shared by the department show the helicopter landing in a parking area surrounded by emergency vehicles and rescuers helping evacuees to safety.
Authorities have not reported any injuries connected to the flooding, but residents are urged to continue monitoring local alerts as water levels remain high in some low-lying areas. Drivers are advised to avoid flooded roadways and to use alternate routes when possible.
Flood warnings remain in effect for portions of Snohomish County, and officials say additional rescues may be necessary if conditions worsen.
