No. Were all the Greenland ice to melt ocean levels should only rise 18 to 20 feet (5.5 to 6 meters). Arctic ice melt would not raise ocean levels much at all, save via thermal expansion.

There is sufficient Antarctic ice, however, to raise sea levels some 200 feet (60 meters). This would still not flood everything, as there are lots of places more than 200 feet above sea level. Most of Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, etc. are above 200 feet.
