Contact King County if you seen or hear about vandalism to the giant sandbags along the Green River levees.

People can report any damages to the sandbags to John Koon, a senior engineer at King County.

Crews placed the sandbags along the river last year to help protect against flooding because the Howard Hanson Dam cannot hold back as much water after damages to the embankment next to the dam in 2009.

Koon can be reached at 206-890-2562 or john.koon@kingcounty.gov.
