Landslides
Key Points
Seattle has steep hills, wet winters, and geology that is prone to
landslides. Landslides occur frequently, especially in the winter and
early spring.
Landslides are more likely to occur when soils are saturated. Many
landslides can occur within a few days when Seattle experiences
heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt.
