As the December atmospheric river continues to rip through the Pacific Northwest, Renton has been dealing with floods, heavy rain, high winds and oversaturated soil.

Late evening on Tuesday, Dec. 16, a mudslide took place on State Route 169 across from the Riviera Apartments and Blaine Drive Southeast and before the Renton Community Center and exit to I-405. The westbound lane was temporarily closed and the highway was reduced to one lane before reopening early Dec. 17.

Further east on SR-169, aka Maple Valley Highway, the eastbound lane is closed near Maplewood Roadside Park and Southeast 5th Street due to soil erosion caused by flooding.

Along with partial closures in Maple Valley Highway, several roads throughout the city are closed.
