In southwestern Washington, the Coast Guard says it rescued five people from a flooded Columbia River near Rosburg. A video posted online shows a helicopter saving a man from the roof of a pickup truck surrounded by rushing water.
Kirby Cook with the National Weather Service in Seattle said soils are super-saturated right now, making landslide risk a concern.
Amtrak announced Tuesday it is suspending service between Seattle and Portland due to heavy rains and a landslide. Trains are expected to run again on Thursday.
In Seattle, a section of the Burke-Gilman Trail bike path near the Lake City neighborhood was blocked after a landslide. Seattle Parks said crews were assessing damage to the trail.
Forecasters say rain should start to slow down on Wednesday and rivers will begin to recede.
But another more wind-driven storm is forecast for Saturday."
