King Tides flooding Olympia show future impacts from sea level rise. Using the City of Olympia and the region as our laboratory, join us for a day of exploring how Washington coastal communities might start to address sea level rise. How does sea level rise relate to planning and infrastructure, architecture and tribal interests? We will start the day with a walking tour at 8:30 to see potential impacts of sea level rise as demonstrated by high tide on a day with a King Tide. We will then have presentations and discussion from 10 – 3:00 at the LOTT Center with a break for lunch on your own.
Come prepared to talk about how your community is addressing sea level rise.
