At that time, nearly 50 buildings in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood were damaged from Duwamish overflows. Waterfront homes and businesses in other areas, such as Olympia, Edmonds, and parts of Skagit County, also had damage.

The agency added that other factors that exacerbated water levels the last time, such as wind-driven waves, high rivers, and melting snow, should not be present this time. In the long-term, the city is making $100 million in improvements to drainage and roads that should help prevent flood damage in the future.
Pam Oates co-owns the Budd Bay Café along Olympia’s boardwalk, as well as the waterfront Olympia Oyster House. The café was among those businesses flooded in the last round of king tides.
