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.
