DUNGENESS — Clallam County is in the process of buying a fifth parcel of River’s End Road property, as part of the county’s Dungeness River Estuary Project.
The project, funded through a $1.5 million Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant, is intended to restore the river’s mouth to its natural flood plain habitat.
Cathy Lear, county associate planner, asked county commissioners this week to sign a warranty deed for purchase of the parcel with a home owned by Jeffrey P. Gilman.
The county has offered $100,000 for the 27,878 square feet of land and its improvements.
Records show Gilman originally paid $60,000 for the property in October 1996.
