Port Angeles: Todd Shipyards continues to challenge graving yard

PORT ANGELES — Seattle-based Todd Pacific Shipyards has urged state and federal permitting agencies to conduct further environmental reviews of the state Department of Transportation’s proposed graving yard, potentially delaying the project.

House Majority Leader Lynn Kessler, D-Hoquiam, said Thursday she and Rep. Jim Buck, R-Joyce, are brainstorming what they can do in response.

She also has contacted Congressman Norm Dicks, D-Bremerton.

“We are on top of this. This is outrageous to be holding up the whole bridge project,” Kessler said. “They are holding the entire Olympic Peninsula hostage.”
