The 10th annual Chilifest in Bothell has been canceled due to an incoming storm predicted to bring high wind and rain by the National Weather Service.

Chilifest was to take place from 5-7 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Lifetime Celebrations by Washelli in downtown Bothell to benefit Hopelink.

A release from the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce states: “Your safety is our top priority. Due to potential stormy weather and possible power outages, we have decided to cancel.”

The first of the storms will arrive late Wednesday night and into Thursday. Heavy rains will hit the Washington coast and then be pushed inland. Strong winds are expected along the coast and through the Northwest interior.

The second of the three storms is expected to impact Western Washington late Thursday and into Friday. Heavy rains and wind gusts of up to 40-50 mph are expected. The Southwest Washington coast may experience gusts of wind up to 65-75 mph.

The third storm in the series, expected Saturday, could be the most powerful. It is part of a strong system associated with Typhoon Songda and is expected to bring heavy rain and powerful, damaging winds for all of Western Washington.
