Were these dams any part of a flood control program? Just curious.

People living in a supposedly safe flood plain better sell now while they can still get a good price.

As I said in #36 I am a long way from the Elwha and don't recall even passing over the bridge, but these Olympic rivers are in mountainous areas and generally reside within steep canyons (the river is also mostly within a national park). So there might be some flood control issues way downstream but not extensive ones. It dumps into the strait without much drama.
