Green River flooding and the Desimone Levee
Tukwila sits where the Green River becomes the Duwamish, and much of the city’s business district is on the valley floor behind levees. On December 15, 2025, after a week of heavy rain, the Desimone Levee on the Green River breached in the Orillia area. King County issued a GO NOW evacuation for the part of Tukwila south of South 180th Street and west of West Valley Highway, contacted about 1,100 people, and evacuated more than 500, most of them from businesses. The order was lifted that evening, but it showed how much of Tukwila depends on the levees.
Floodwater from a river is treated as contaminated. Drywall, insulation, carpet and stored goods it touched usually need removal, and the building has to be cleaned and disinfected before it’s dried. Starting within 24–48 hours limits mold and keeps more of the building salvageable.

Tukwila restoration FAQs
Can you start cleanup right after an evacuation order is lifted?
Yes. Once it’s safe to enter, we pump out water, remove contaminated materials and start drying. We photograph everything first for your claim.
Do you clean up stores and warehouses?
Yes. We handle large floor areas, stock and fixtures, and we plan the work so you can reopen as soon as possible.
Is flood damage covered by insurance?
Flooding from outside usually needs flood insurance, for both homes and businesses. Sudden internal leaks are often covered by standard policies. We document the cause and the damage either way.
How quickly can you get to Tukwila?
We respond 24/7. Our average response time is 45 minutes.
