A bulldozer levels dirt along a new levee being built along the Dungeness River on Saturday not far from the mouth of the river near the Dungeness community north of Sequim. The first phase of the multi-year levee setback project includes construction of a new levee and an embankment to realign Towne Road, as well as culverts and restoration of the river’s floodplain.
