City of Tacoma has notified home owners that Lake Cushman will not be raised higher than 725 feet, 13 feet below a full lake. At that level all community boat launches and docks are unusable. They have a concern about erosion on the south bank near the spillway.
They want to wait a year to observe the situation. Doing so could mean bankrupting businesses up there that depend on summer tourist dollars, the resort, and all the people with rental cabins, not to mention the rest of us who have cabins or generally use the lake.
