Seattle Public Utilities is assessing the Duwamish River ahead of another king tide anticipated later this month. The potential impact on the South Park community, which is still recovering from flooding, remains unknown. The area near the Duwamish is residential and industrial and encompasses many different cultures who have lived in the area for generations. Residents say it isn't just material possessions but sentimental cultural items they've lost. It’s a roaring sound that echoes throughout the South Park neighborhood. Generators that have been on for days. “We’ll have the generator run throughout the week to see how it goes from there,” said Reasmey Choun who goes by Meme. It's been a week since she opened her bedroom door to water gushing into the basement-level home she shares with her mom. The water was from the Duwamish River after last week's king tide. Twenty-eight families have been impacted. Eleven are still staying in hotels. Choun has lived in this basement-level home for 11 years. She had to climb out the kitchen window to get out. She said flooding from rain is common and they were prepared for that.  “Nobody knew about the river,” she said. Seattle Public Utilities said they anticipated the river would flood over at some point. They just thought it would be decades from now.
