A Washington levee failed in December 2025 due to deferred repairs and climate impacts, triggering evacuations and highlighting systemic infrastructure risks.
A 2.2-mile levee near Tukwila, Washington, failed in December 2025 after years of deferred repairs and stalled federal funding.
Weakened by 2020 floods and repeated seepage, the Desimone levee breached during a storm surge from atmospheric rivers, triggering evacuations.
Despite a prior federal agreement to cover 80% of repair costs, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers withdrew support in January, halting progress.
Experts warn aging, underfunded levees across Western Washington are increasingly vulnerable due to climate change, rapid development, and fragmented oversight, raising concerns about future failures.
