Snow turned to heavy rainfall across the Pacific Northwest, causing flooding, landslides and avalanche danger in the mountains. In Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, firefighters responded to a home that slid down a hillside. A man trapped in the home's basement was extricated.

A woman escaped on her own while one dog died and another is missing, firefighters said. Portions of Washington state's two major interstates — Interstate 90 and Interstate 5 — were closed Friday. Interstate 5 in the Chehalis area closed due to flooding but reopened Friday afternoon.
