left|400px|red indicates hardel ownership around the development projectThe Hardel Site is among a set of industrial sites located on the shore of West Bay Watersheds on Budd Inlet. Southern Bud Inlet is part of the Deschutes Estuary. It includes critical habitat for species under ESA. Several parcels are currently owned by the Hardel Plywood Company. The site has been prepared for development through a variety of local processes, by both city councils and staff, through Growth Management Act zoning and Shoreline Management Act designations. This is a useful case study in the implementation of the Shoreline Management Act by Local Government and cumulative impacts on Puget Sound Shorelines. The City of Olympia has jurisdiction. In 2021 has initiated a bid for development beginning with a development agreement approved by the City of Olympia and contested by Olympia Coalition for Ecosystems Preservation, followed by a full application for development of a massive mixed use complex filling the site.
