SUMMARY:King tide viewing party: South Bend
DESCRIPTION:King tides are the annual extreme-high tides that occur whenever the moon is closest to Earth. They are a dramatic feature of Washington winters – and a glimpse of what our future along Washington’s coasts may look like as sea levels rise. \nWashington Sea Grant invites you to join us at two free king tides viewing parties in December: at Bendiksen Landing in South Bend on December 5 and at Percival Landing Park in Olympia on December 9. These events\, open to the public\, offer an opportunity to learn about king tides and coastal flooding in Washington. Attendees are also invited to take pictures of king tides and upload them to the MyCoast app. These images help scientists\, local planners and decision-makers understand how sea level rise and storm surges affect our infrastructure and ecosystems. A limited supply of coffee and hot chocolate will be provided. \nRegistration is appreciated but not required. Help us plan supplies by registering: \nRegister for the South Bend King Tides Viewing Party \nSouth Bend event details\n\nLocation: WSG South Bend Office at Bendiksen Landing (313 Robert Bush Dr\, South Bend\, WA 98586)\nDate and time: Friday\, December 5\, 12-1 p.m. PT\nWeather note: Please come prepared for the weather–the event will be held outside and rain is likely this time of the year.
