King tides are seasonal high tides that can cause nuisance flooding in low-lying areas.

What to expect:

• Flooded streets and yards.
• Saltwater intrusion into storm drains.
• Increased risk during full moons and storm surges.

City response:

• Deploying Tiger Dam™ tubes in flood-prone areas like Marine Way.
• Installing check valves to prevent tidal backflow.
• Issuing alerts and updates via social media.

Resident actions:

• Store trash bins securely during high tides.
• Avoid driving through saltwater—it damages vehicles and infrastructure.
