Quinault tribe races against king tides to relocate coastal homes

The Quinault Indian Nation is moving residents of flood-prone Taholah, Washington, to higher ground as winter king tides approach. Four modular homes have been approved and built as the first of 59 planned residences in a new neighborhood about a mile inland. The village’s most vulnerable homes, along First Avenue, are being replaced, while residents face the loss of homes repeatedly threatened by high tides and waves.
