‘Tis the season of higher tides, and there was a higher-than-average predicted tide on November 17, 2020 (9.5′ predicted, 10.5’ observed), and a few Local 20/20 Climate Action Group volunteers were out there early in the morning to capture it. The king tide gives us a chance to visualize the higher sea levels that will become more frequent in the future due to global sea-level rise. You can learn more about the project in this post. The photos from the project are shared on the MyCoast website (you can zoom in on the map to find the Port Townsend photos, and others are posted all over the state coastline.)
Below is Dave Wilkinson’s summary of the November 17, 2020 tide, featuring photos from Jeff Taylor.
