Olympia City Council approved a SEPA determination for the West Bay Marina Replacement project on July 24, 2026, moving forward with replacing aging infrastructure to meet environmental standards. The project involves removing and replacing solid decked piers, ramps, floats, and creosote-treated wood pilings with updated materials. The work will also repair an existing domestic water line and remove an unsafe overwater dock.

The project at 2100 West Bay Dr NW will require public comments until August 7, 2026. The city's SEPA document states the new infrastructure will meet 'up-to-date environmental standards' in a slightly new configuration. The project follows a previous SEPA determination for the marina in 2014.

The marina serves local boaters and residents who use the waterfront area. The replacement project aims to address safety concerns with the current structure while meeting current environmental regulations. Public comments will help shape the final project details before construction begins.
