Howard Hanson Dam has been repaired…

…and functioning at or better than before the damage sustained over two years ago! 


Next for Kent will be the planning, funding and contracting to remove the giant sand bags from the levee. Because we are entering the rainy season, we are unable to remove the sandbags because of the damage that would be done to the levee and trail, so they will remain for one more winter. We expect that next spring the sand bags will be removed and the trail repaired.


Work continues on levee certification. In spite of the sandbags being removed without levee certification, we will continue to have impacts on flood insurance and onerous development requirements in the Valley.
