STORYLINE
Residents of Oregon and Washington state continued to clean up and sift through their belongings, after a powerful strom brought havoc to the US northwest.
Red Cross relief workers, state officials and prison inmates converged in Vernonia, Oregon, a Coast Range timber town that was overwhelmed by fast-rising floodwater on Monday and Tuesday.
Oregon governor,Ted Kulongoski, toured the areas devastated by the storm and declared a state of emergency and authorised the use of state resources to help those communities suffering from the effects of severe weather.
Gordon Smith, a shopkeeper who met with Kulongoski during his visit to Vernonia said he asked the governor to send in work crews to help with the town's clean up.
They brought out 30 of them for us today, Gordon told AP Television, it's great, we need manpower, God bless them all.
Townspeople were tossing their damaged household goods onto an impromptu dump in the middle of town. By midday, it was several car lengths long.
Some landline telephone service had been restored, and a Federal Emergency Management Agency mobile communications truck was assisting with cell phone service, officials said.
Cell-phone firm Verizon said it was restoring landline service and bringing in a 42-foot portable cell tower that would serve both its customers and those of competitors who have agreements with Verizon.
And in Washington state, the Chehalis River was perhaps the single largest problem.
It crested about 10 feet (3 metres) above normal flood levels near Centralia on Tuesday morning, with huge areas in Centralia, Chehalis and other parts of Lewis County under water.
In nearby Grays Harbor County, where as many as 25 thousand were still without electricity on Wednesday evening.
Officials were watching nervously as the flood worked its way downriver toward Aberdeen and the Pacific Ocean.

SUMMARY
=======
Washington ( (listen)), officially the State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Named for George Washington, the first president of the United States, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by Britain in 1846 in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's largest city is Seattle. Washington is sometimes referred to as Washington State, to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which is often shortened to Washington or just D.C.
Washington is the 18th largest state, with an area of 71,362 square miles (184,827 km2), and the 13th most populous state, with more than 7.4 million people. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands, deep fjords, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of: deep temperate rainforests in the west; mountain ranges in the west, central, northeast, and far southeast; and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. Washington is the second most populous state on the West Coast and in the Western United States, after California. Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano, is the state's highest elevation, at almost 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States.
Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. The state is the biggest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes. Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy. Washington ranks second only to California in the production of wine.
Manufacturing industries in Washington include aircraft and missiles, ship-building, and other transportation equipment, lumber, food processing, metals and metal products, chemicals, and machinery. Washington has over 1,000 dams, including the Grand Coulee Dam, built for a variety of purposes, including irrigation, power, flood control, and water storage.
Washington is one of the wealthiest and most liberally progressive states in the country. The state consistently ranks among the best for life expectancy, low unemployment, and degrees of freedom for minorities. Along with Colorado, Washington was one of the first to legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis, was among the first thirty-six states to legalize same-sex marriage, doing so in 2012, and was one of only four U.S. states to have been providing legal abortions on request before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade loosened federal abortion laws. Similarly, Washington voters approved a 2008 referendum on legalization of physician-assisted suicide, and is currently only one of five states, along with Oregon, California, Colorado and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia to have legalized the practice. The state is also one of eight in the country to have criminalized the sale, possession and transfer of bump stocks, with California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Maryland, and Massachusetts also having banned these devices.
