The cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop a levee and drainage plan to reduce flooding. A walking tour of Fry Creek is planned where the consultants hired to help develop a master plan will conduct a tour of the Fry Creek area, which is a chronic contributor to localized flooding.
The tour will begin with a presentation about the project goals followed by an hour-long walking tour of the area that will likely be changed in order to improve livability, eliminate nuisance flooding and restore the creek for the future.
All stakeholders welcome.
This is the second tour offered this day to give stakeholders in Aberdeen an opportunity to learn about the flood control levee that Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop.
A tour of Aberdeen’s Fry Creek was scheduled to take place in the morning, with Wilson Creek in the afternoon.
The goal is to eliminate nuisance flooding with a levee and proper drainage and remove properties from the flood plain and thus eliminate the requirement for flood insurance. People could still buy insurance the same way they do earthquake insurance, but thousands of property owners would no longer be required to purchase it.
In answer to some concerns, and according to project engineers, there is no expectation that any nuisance flooding in areas not within the scope of this project will be worsened.

Justin James will hypnotize everyone in the group and give you powerful hypnotic suggestions while some music plays in the background. It will be like daydreaming or taking a nice nap.
So you come hang out and take a nap, what happens next? For some the changes are subtle for others, it can be pretty dramatic. Lifestyle changes that were very difficult to make are suddenly within reach and your habits and choices begin to change overnight.
