West Hillhurst is completely out of the flood plain I believe. Hillhurst is partially (mostly?) in it, but had no flooding at all in 2013 so I'm not really worried about it. We were in the middle of building our house in Hillhurst during 2013, so it was scary at the time, but the water didn't come over the bank until close to the Peace Bridge in Sunnyside. Even Sunnyside, which had flooding, only had it in the lower half of the area.
