Awesome Jeff!! You have done an amazing job of sleuthing and following the money trail for the Towne Rd/levee aspects of this project. I do believe the County ( DCD specifically ) was largely responsible for the premature removal of the dike, but there is surely enough blame to go around for all parties involved.
Sadly, this is just one mismanaged mess in a very large County full of mismanaged messes.. At the end of the day, it is the taxpayers who always end up getting stiffed; while our elected public servants walk away unscathed.
Until citizens, the media, and the Attorney General's Office get more involved and fulfill their responsibilities, this "good old boy" way of doing business is not going to change.

Do you feel the momentum building? I think Sequim just got activated.
Nice summary.
