Notably on January 7, 2009, heavy rainfall on deep snowpack caused <br />excessive runoff and moderate flooding on the Yakima River with damage reported in the cities of Cle <br />Elum, Roslyn, and the west portion of Ellensburg. This resulted in flooded roads that buckled in some <br />areas and property damage totaling $10 Million. Additionally, on May 16, 2011, an upper level low <br />pressure system over the Pacific Northwest produced heavy rainfall and combined with a significant <br />amount of spring snowpack significant flooding occurred. Property damage totaled $4 Million. <br /> <br />Table 4-72 lists flood events that occurred in Kittitas County between 1997 and 2023. <br />
