Are you concerned about Sea Level Rise in Olympia, and Thurston County at large? Did you see the flooding of Capitol Lake this January? The City of Olympia recently published a new tool created by local Visual Storyteller, Bill Lange, to help residents and get a deeper understanding of Sea Level Rise locally. The Olympia Sea Level Rise Collaborative partnered with Lange to create a video series about Olympia’s sea level rise response efforts. 
 
Sea Level Rise Flooding is a multi-part video series that illustrates how different local government agencies can come together to develop and implement an adaptation plan for sea level rise flooding due to climate change. The short videos are intended to inform the public about sea level rise/climate change, the impacts to downtown Olympia and how we as a community are adapting and responding.
