All Stanwood-Camano schools are closed today, Friday, Dec

The Stanwood-Camano School District posted this to its Facebook page on 2025-12-12 05:14:48.

All Stanwood-Camano schools are closed today, Friday, Dec. 12, due to impacts from record high flooding from the Skagit River north of Stanwood.

Yesterday, our transportation team was able to safely navigate around road closures and all schools operated on schedule. Conditions changed overnight. Skagit River levels continued rising near the tops of the levees, stressing the diking system to potentially vulnerable levels and creating possibly unsafe conditions for the Stanwood Elementary and Stanwood Middle School area.

While current forecasts suggest the levee system is expected to hold and we do not anticipate widespread floodwaters in downtown Stanwood, today’s situation creates too much uncertainty. Out of an abundance of caution, all schools are closed.

City crews, first responders, and community volunteers have been working diligently to protect homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. Their efforts — along with the levee system — are expected to continue performing well throughout the day, but safety remains our top priority.

District staff will continue monitoring conditions and will communicate additional updates as needed.

No out-of-district transportation today.

Please stay safe while traveling, and never drive through standing water or around barricades.
