Rainfall of one to five inches over the past three days has increased soil moisture to high levels across western Washington.

Heavy rainfall of one to three inches is expected over the next several days.

This amount of rain will put extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of landslides.

Two landslides have already been reported in various locations in western Washington including the Leschi neighborhood in Seattle and near Union. More landslides are possible.
