Bulkhead Replacements Approved in Olympia

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Thurston County approved two bulkhead replacement projects for properties on Summit Lake Shore Road in Olympia.

The projects involve removing failing bulkheads and replacing them with new structures. Brian Cockrell's property at 903 Summit Lake Shore Rd NW and Ronald & Amy Matthews' property at 631 Summit Lake Shore Rd NW both received approval. Each property is approximately 0.3-0.38 acres in size and zoned Residential LAMIRD.

The public comment period for both projects runs until September 18, 2026. Thurston County's determination means the projects comply with environmental review requirements under SEPA.
