Sabrina Tavernise reports:
Hoquiam is a city of about 8,700 people in Grays Harbor County, a foggy stretch of pine trees and sea gulls that was once the capital of the American logging industry. The area has flooded for as long as anybody can remember. The large harbor on the county’s southern coast overflows in heavy rains or particularly high tides, making messes in basements and prompting the federal government years ago to declare parts of the area a flood zone.
