DESCRIPTION
This project was located on the beach at the historical site of the caretaker house at Priest Point Park, a City of Olympia Park located in Thurston County. There was 150 feet of broken concrete/concrete pellet bulkhead roughly 4-5 feet tall that was removed. And, the derelict well that protruded from the bulkhead was decommissioned and sealed. The previous location of the house on the bluff has had the invasive vegetation removed and has been revegetated with native plant species. In addition, new shoreline substrates were laid down and graded to mimic the adjacent beach profiles. Priest Point Park continues south from this location offering nearly a mile of undeveloped functional bluff back beach habitat. At this location the bluff is smaller than anywhere else in this stretch of beach. Due to the removal of the house, there is no further protection needed at this site and the bluff will now be allowed to erode naturally to feed the beach long starved of usable substrates. This site had provided excellent opportunities for nearshore restoration and community outreach and remains highly visible to many users of the park and boaters in Budd Inlet, Puget Sound.
