Storms near this place
3 since 2014Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Fremont in 3 storm reports between 2014 and 2022: 2 heavy rain, 1 lightning. The reports record 1 injury. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2022 | Heavy Rain | Fremont | 1 hurt, $1,520,000 | Heavy rain on top of saturated soils triggered a landslide that knocked a house off it's foundation, collapsing one level - destroying it and trapping the inhabitants. One man was trapped under debris and injured and had to be extricated by Seattle Fire Department. A woman was also pinned under debris but was able to escape. One dog was killed and another was found a week later in the debris and extricated. At the time, 1 to 2 inches of rain had fallen in the area in the previous 48 hours with the Seattle Antecedent Rainfall Index already high, above the threshold for heavy rain-induced landslides. |
| February 2017 | Heavy Rain | Fremont | $33,000,000 | Heavy rain and storm runoff damaged the West Point sewage treatment plant in Seattle. King county dumped an estimated 235 million gallons of untreated wastewater - including 30 million gallons of raw sewage - into Puget Sound because of damage to the plant. The plant could not perform full wastewater treatment as required by the state permit until May 9th, as reported by the Seattle Times. |
| August 2014 | Lightning | Fremont | $30,000 | Storms moving through Western Washington brought lightning, heavy rain and hail. Lightning hit trees in the Fremont and Green Lake neighborhoods, in one case sparking a garage fire. Power was knocked out to about 2000 customers in northeast Seattle and crews worked to replace 24 transformers damaged by lightning. |
