Federal disaster assistance has been made available for Washington residents impacted by the December 2025 floods.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency made aid is available to people in the counties of Chelan, Grays Harbor, King, Lewis, Pacific, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, and Whatcom, as well as several tribal communities.
Atmospheric rivers hit Western Washington starting on Dec. 8, 2025, and prompted evacuation orders for more than 100,000 residents, while damaging nearly 4,000 homes.
The FEMA action makes assistance available for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and families recover from the disaster. The funds can’t be used for losses covered by insurance but it may be used for people who were underinsured and if their flood policy didn’t cover all of the loss.
