During last years flood we sent out a message to get help with flood efforts on 135th. There was an overwhelming response to save the neighborhood. Since then, there have been multiple emails and a meeting with the city to get more help in the future. If the river floods, there will always be a risk of it coming straight through the neighborhood destroying homes and the MAWC water pumphouse. A few homeowners who were on the front lines and the neighborhood association have coordinated with the city to demonstrate proper sandbag filling and placement. Please read below for the information and a message from the Association.
Sandbag training
The city of Renton is offering our neighborhood a sandbag training class. It will be held on Saturday, October 3rd at 10:00 AM at 14900 135th ave SE. We placed sand bags along the Cedar River last year to protect our homes from flooding.
Unfortunately, due to lack of materials, filling techniques, and proper placement, the sandbag dike leaked severely causing property damage. We requested this training so when the next flood occurs, we will be prepared to do it right and get better results.
Neighborhood association email update
You should have gotten an email recently about updating communications with the neighborhood association. Please note that if you haven't gotten any communications from us, you can sign up on this very website and we can make sure emails get sent out to you as soon as they are ready.
