πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Olympia City Council approved a plan to replace West Bay Marina's aging infrastructure with environmentally compliant materials. The project at 2100 West Bay Dr. NW will remove unsafe docks and creosote-treated wood, with public comments due by August 7.

Thurston County issued an amended SEPA notice for the Oak Preserve subdivision in Lacey, which would create 803 residential lots on 258. 5 acres. Meanwhile, Tumwater plans to build a paved trail segment linking Tumwater Valley Drive to Deschutes Valley Park. A shellfish farm proposal at 8203 Zangle Rd. NE in Olympia also requires public input, with comments due July 31.

These projects must undergo environmental review before moving forward. Residents can submit comments through the state Ecology website by the specified deadlines.
