Where SWAN CREEK AT 80TH ST EAST NEAR TACOMA, WA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Washington rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.32–3.1 ft³/s (middle half of 33 years of record). Now: 1.51 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1.51 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 33 years of record (1990–2025): 10th 0.04, 25th 0.32, median 1.2, 75th 3.1, 90th 6 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 15.5 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 26.9%, from 1.19 to 1.51 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 26.9%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.

The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
