Port Demolishes Two Buildings, No EIS Needed

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The Port of Tacoma announced it will demolish two buildings at 459C and 465 E 15th Street, totaling 34,700 square feet, without requiring an environmental impact statement. The Port determined the project has no significant environmental impact, so an EIS is not needed under Washington state law. Debris will be removed off-site, with no ground disturbance.

The sale of two properties will be auctioned at Pierce County Courthouse on August 21, 2026. One property is 20 feet of Lot 26 and 50 feet of Lot 27 at Highland's Golf & Racquet Club, and the other is a parcel at 0619286007. Both sales are scheduled for public auction at 10 a.m. with payments due in cash or certified checks.
