The tsunami is not expected to be damaging and rise in water is expected to be under 3 feet. However, currents will be strong. The tsunami is expected to affect the Edmonds area beginning around 10:30am. The advisory will remain in effect for 3 hours after the last rise in water of 1’ or higher.
Note that sirens will not be engaged since the tsunami will be under 3’ but Smart911 and reverse 911 calls will be made to landlines and registered cell phones.
