Raging River

The Raging River is a 16-mile (26 km) long tributary stream to the Snoqualmie River in King County, Washington, draining a largely-forested region of the Issaquah Alps in the foothills of the Cascade Range. The river has its headwaters at the southwestern face of Rattlesnake Ridge and flows generally north, taking in various smaller tributary streams as it descends into a valley. It turns northeast and enters a more heavily confined valley as it passes the community of Preston, before entering a large alluvial fan and draining into the Snoqualmie near Fall City. Much of the river's present course originates from faults and folds in the bedrock of the Issaquah Alps, which created drainage routes for glacial meltwater during the Vashon Glaciation. The river initially fed meltwater west into the Issaquah Creek drainage basin, but headcutting erosion diverted it into the Snoqualmie basin sometime around the end of the last ice age.
The river is an important spawning ground for chinook salmon and cutthroat trout. The river lies within the traditional territory of the Snoqualmie, a Coast Salish people, who gave the river the Lushootseed name YeLhʷ. Euro-American settlement began in the mid-1800s, accompanied by the start of logging operations across the watershed. The river's English name derives from its propensity for intense floods, with especially large floods occurring in 1932 and 1990. Dredging and levee construction in the 20th century were used as flood control measures, although both were halted or reversed in later decades out of environmental concern. Much of the upper watershed is privately-held timberland, while the lower basin is a mixture of state-held forestland and rural residential areas. Two major highways, Interstate 90 and Washington State Route 18, cross through the basin.
