Flood toy for Seattle, Washington

Seattle flood toy and water map

Use this Seattle, Washington flood toy to inspect Puget Sound, Elliott Bay, and low shoreline areas around downtown and the Duwamish corridor. The page opens directly on Seattle instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Seattle-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around Puget Sound, Elliott Bay, and low shoreline areas around downtown and the Duwamish corridor.
• Start with a 3.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Seattle scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Seattle map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use the slider to raise the water and compare milder or more extreme scenarios.
3. Click a specific point on the map for a location-based risk sample, then copy the permalink if you want the same view later.

Model notes

Seattle's hills create sharp elevation shifts near the shore, which makes city-scale screening useful for comparing waterfront and upland areas. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
