The climate change discussion is especially important for coastal cities like Tacoma and Seattle. Some recent documents depict sea level rise in coming years that could have a disastrous effect on coastal cities, with large land areas devoured by the sea. The downtowns of the Puget Sound region are safe because they are situated on cliffs, but industrial areas like the Tideflats seem most at risk. What would Tacoma do if it lost one of its key economic engines due to global warming? I won’t be able to make it to the discussion but I’m interested to hear what comes out of it.
