"Thomas added that they would need to plan for 16 feet of sea level rise when developing the waterfront."
That's an eye-catcher. Sixteen feet would be where, Sylvester Park?
I think this is probably a misquote, but appropriate for long-range planning. Things will clearly get a lot worse, as we learn with every year's new and worse measurements.
But the Port District and the City of Olympia steadfastly refuse to even consider retreat from the current waterfront as an option. Instead, they are doubling down on added structures that will only make our eventual, necessary retreat more expensive.
