| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Western Washington had its first hot spell of the year that followed below normal spring temperatures. So the heat was quite a sharp contrast. In addition, the heat helped push mountain snow melt streams higher (below flood levels) with swift running and cold water temperatures. This combination led to people seeking relief from the heat by heading to these swift running streams. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | There were two indirect fatalities due to the heat. Both are missing and likely drowned. One kayaker spilled into the Green River and disappeared. One of 4 rafters, who where thrown into the Green River when their raft flipped, disappeared (King County). The Green river was well below flood stage. |
