The estuarine lagoon and brackish wetlands of Kah Tai (qatáy) are the remains of an extensive estuary to Port Townsend Bay. What survives today, though diminished, is a remarkably tranquil oasis, not wilderness but still wild. The original intent of its creation should be respected, so that this gem in the heart of our community is preserved in perpetuity.

Port Commissioners to Discuss Letter of Intent, 3:30 pm December 8
On Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 3:30 p.m., the Port Townsend Port Commissioners will discuss potential renewal of the Letter of Intent they signed a year ago to allow development of Port land in the Nature Park. It appears that the City, State and Federal offices involved in the creation of the Nature Park will soon rule that all land within the Park boundaries is protected in perpetuity (called 6(f)(3) protections in National Park Service documents). If you're interested in the future of Kah Tai, this would be a good meeting to attend. The meeting will be in Commission Chambers at the Port Administration Office Building, 375 Hudson Street, Point Hudson.
