Unprecedented Flood in Pullman, Washington: Business Owners Blame City for Slow Response
A sudden flood from the South Fork of the Palouse River hit downtown Pullman, Washington, on March 14, 2026, causing significant damage to businesses along Main Street. The flood, which crested at 8.82 feet, surpassed past minor floods but fell short of the record of 11.8 feet from 1910. Store owners are pointing fingers at the city, claiming the response was too slow and that workers unplugging drains arrived too late. City officials, however, defend their efforts, stating that public works teams, along with fire and police, stayed on duty all night with pumps running. Despite the damage, which has already cost thousands, no injuries were reported, and major roads were clear by evening. Water levels are dropping fast, with officials expecting things to keep improving overnight.
