City of Hoquiam

The North Shore Levee will construct a 6.2 mile levee across the two cities, providing critical flood protection and removing over 3,100 properties from FEMA's mapped Special Flood Hazard Area. The project will build resiliency in the face of future flood events, retaining existing businesses, jobs, and residents which have been on the decline in the community. The total construction cost of the North Shore is estimated to be at least $78 million...Aberdeen - North Shore Levee Project (wa.gov)
