Admiralty Inlet
Snohomish County Public Utility Department went though all the FERC licensing work for a tidal generation site on the east side of Admiralty Inlet. They were granted a license but it became too cost prohibitive and the project was never built. It remains a fine example of environmental investigations and stakeholder interactions.
