Coupeville Sea Level Rise Study
With funding from the Department of Ecology’s Shoreline Grant Program, the Town of Coupeville is taking important steps to prepare for the effects of sea level rise by conducting a sea level rise vulnerability assessment. This assessment will evaluate which of the Town’s areas and/or assets are considered most at risk from sea level rise-related hazards.
A public meeting webinar will take place February 9th at 6:00 PM

RE: Washington Report on Accountability
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you to promote accountability, integrity and openness in government. The Office of the Washington State Auditor takes seriously our role of providing state and local governments with assurance and accountability as the independent auditor of public accounts.
In this way, we strive to help government work better, cost less, deliver higher value and earn greater public trust. Independent audits provide essential accountability and transparency for Port operations. This information is valuable to management, the governing body and public stakeholders when assessing the government’s stewardship of public resources.
Attached is our independent audit report on the Port’s compliance with applicable requirements and safeguarding of public resources for the areas we examined. We appreciate the opportunity to work with your staff and value your cooperation during the audit.
Sincerely, Pat McCarthy, State Auditor Olympia, WA
