Crests at or above flood stage, by decade

Crests at or above flood stage per decade, Skokomish River near Potlatch 1940s: 0 1950s: 0 1960s: 0 1970s: 0 1980s: 0 1990s: 22 2000s: 32 2010s: 68 68 2020s: 34 1940s1950s1960s1970s1980s1990s2000s2010s2020s
  1. These are the crests the local National Weather Service office lists for the gauge: the highest on record and recent crests. Lesser floods between them may be missing, so counts by decade are a floor.
  2. Categories use today's flood stages. Levees, dams and channel changes since a crest can make old and new stages not directly comparable.
