Description
The Duwamish River overflowed and flooded several homes and businesses Tuesday in the South Park neighborhood at high tide.
In the wake of major flooding, residents face a daunting clean-up job.
One man said two inches of water in their basement last year cost them $6,000 to clean up and fix. Now, with two feet of water in his basement from Tuesday's flooding, he’s wondering whether it’s ultimately worth it to pack up and move.
"We got a little pump down there that’s pumping water through this hose, out the front door and into the street. And we’re just gonna try to move all that water out," said Andy Cenarrusa.
His downstairs basement's living room, bedrooms and music room contain a pool of water, leaving his furniture halfway submerged. He said water was up to his knees.
