Independent local news. Every week.


Are you ready to leave in 10 minutes?

As the weekend storm front moves in, make sure your GO bag is packed with medications, important papers, chargers, a change of clothes and comfort items. Talk with everyone in your household so you all know where to go and how to get there if you need to evacuate.

These are the emergency shelters and resources around Skagit County. Shelters and parking lots are first-come, first-served, and conditions can change fast, so call ahead to check availability before you head out.
