About the Project
Existing stormwater conditions in the Point No Point area have posed periodic challenges to residential areas, public infrastructure, habitat and water quality. Kitsap County Public Works Stormwater Division seeks to better understand how stormwater affects the Point No Point area. This study will help us understand current conditions and prepare for what we might face in the future as our climate changes and sea levels rise.
Using science-based methods and stakeholder input, we will perform hydraulic and hydraulic modeling. The analysis will evaluate stormwater needs both with and without a proposed estuary restoration project planned for the area. We will create computer models to see how water moves through the neighborhood under current conditions and under different future scenarios—both with and without restoration work. By understanding these patterns, we can identify potential stormwater management approaches—ones designed to be resilient as our climate shifts, land use changes, and natural areas are restored.
At the end of the study, we will have at least three conceptual stormwater management design alternatives for consideration. The findings from this study will inform discussions about stormwater management options in the Point No Point area. This will help us identify feasible, cost-effective solutions that reflect community input, environmental priorities, and future conditions.
Point No Point Stormwater Study Public Open House
We invite you to join us at an Open House: public information session for the Point No Point Stormwater Management Study.
Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2026
Time: Drop in anytime between 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Brief presentation at 6 p.m.
Location: Greater Hansville Community Center, 6778 Buck Lake Road NE, Hansville
What to expect
The meeting will include:
- An informal open house with project displays
- Opportunities to speak directly with staff and the project team
- Brief presentations from the County and technical team
- A Q&A focused on gathering local knowledge
We want to hear from you
People who live and work in the Point No Point area bring essential knowledge about flooding, drainage, and local conditions. Your input will help shape the study and inform future solutions.
Timeline
This project will begin with data collection in the winter of 2026. A final report is anticipated by the end of 2026.
Community Engagement
We will engage with landowners, area Tribes, community stakeholders, and local county departments and agencies. There will be several community meetings held in the spring of 2026. To keep informed of the process, we invite you to sign up to receive email updates. Select the 'KC Coastal Flooding' topic to be added to the email list.
