The Raging River is a modest tributary to the much larger Snoqualmie River in western Washington State in the United States. It is located in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains in east central King County, Washington. It gets its name from the large amount of water it sometimes carries. The record discharge at the gaging station is over per second.〔 〕 The Raging is a salmon-bearing river and supports one-fifth of the Snoqualmie River's chinook runs. The river begins in the valley formed by Rattlesnake Ridge to the east Taylor Mountain to the west in the Raging River State Forest, managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. It flows northwest crossing State Route 18 and then continues north past Tiger Mountain, crossing Interstate 90 near Preston, Washington and joining the Snoqualmie River near Fall City, Washington. The Raging River watershed is part of the larger Puget Sound drainage basin. The average annual flow in the river is per second〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King County: Raging River Flooding Information, USGS gage data, map, alert phases, and recent high flows )〕 and the drainage area is 32 square miles. ==History== Until 2009, almost half of the Raging River basin was privately owned. In the spring of that year, the Washington Department of Natural Resources and King County partnered to purchase 7,000 acres, filling a large gap in the Mountains to Sound Greenway.〔
