SEQUIM — A group of Dungeness River property owners is threatening legal action against Clallam County.
In a letter to county commissioners, the group accused the county of failing to comply with the commissioners’ year-old emergency proclamation to provide protection against future floods.
“No action has been taken as of this date to prevent future flooding,” the Jan. 30 letter from North Olympic Peninsula Property Owners Association says.
“If the county and the city of Sequim take no action, after being made aware of the dangerous situation and the homeowners incur additional losses due to future flooding, the homeowners affected will file a lawsuit against the county and city of Sequim for gross negligence.”
The association’s letter listed businessman Bob Forde as organization chairman and River Road resident Diane Hood as its officer.
