River Flooding
The Future Shorelines Project identifies vulnerabilities and actions that could be taken to address sea level rise, coastal flooding, riverine flooding, and compound flooding (coastal and riverine flooding combined) throughout Whatcom County. The Future Shorelines Project represents Phase 2 of planning by Whatcom County and partners while Phase 1 involved a Compound Flood Vulnerability Assessment. The information in the Future Shorelines Report is also available in a Story Map.

Sea Level Rise
This Sea Level Rise Monitoring Plan provides a data-driven foundation for adaptive management and enables the City of Olympia, LOTT Clean Water Alliance, and Port of Olympia (together, the Olympia Sea Level Rise Collaborative) to assess changing environmental and climatic conditions and determine the appropriate timing and sequencing of future sea level rise adaptation actions.
