In a transcript, a resident observer described changes to the channel at Ocean Shores Marina, saying the tide was about 1.4 feet and that the channel appeared to be widening and deepening with a small sand spit forming east of the marina.
The resident observer (identified in the transcript as Speaker 1) said, "The tide is at approximately 1.4 feet, 10 19 here looking west in the middle of the the at the Ocean Shores Marina next to the Marina RV Park and Damon Point so we're at 1.4 feet, the channel looks, significantly deeper, you can see the waves breaking on both sides of the channel coming through there. We'll pan east it's approximately 50 to 60, 70 yards across this channel from the rocks. The channel appears to be veering south away from the opening to the Ocean Shores Marina and there's a little sand spit forming just east of the marina. The sand that was, building up up around the mouth of the marina seems to be dissipating now with the deepening of this channel. We haven't had any significant storm events or weather, minor swell events over the summer months."
The transcript includes a second, brief statement from the same speaker: "So with just normal tidal exchanges this channel continues to grow wider and deeper with every passing tide." The remarks describe observed physical changes—tide height, channel depth and width, orientation of the channel, and a developing sand spit—but the transcript does not record any formal motion, agency response, or follow-up direction tied to these observations.
The transcript does not identify the speaker's affiliation or whether the remarks occurred during public comment, a staff briefing or another portion of a meeting. No statutes, ordinances, or formal actions were referenced in the provided excerpt.
