is this theoretical flooding due to sea-level rise or the possibility that the land on which Seattle sits is subsiding?
or a combination of both?

Translation: We predict 5,000 homes underwater by 2100. But, since nearly everyone alive today will be dead then, you will never be able to test our prediction against the facts.

Over the past 100+ years, sea levels have risen about 2 mm / year rather steadily. In order for sea levels to rise six feet by the end of the century, sea levels would have to rise 22 mm / year for the next 82 years ... more than 10x faster than we’ve seen.

All of these dire predictions are based on a reversal of Coriolis Force.

Sea level is actually rising approximately 2 mm per year. In the next 83 years (the theoretical end of the the century) that amounts to a .... total of 166 millimeters.
Or just over 6-1/2 inches. Wow. they have 5000 homes in Seattle whose front step is now wet at high tide?

Chances are a Richter scale 9 quake and resulting tsunami will remove most of the lower lying structures from Vancouver down to LA well before then.

..using government climate change forecasts.. Well, there's the first glitch in the analysis. The government, id est, Democrat lifers pushing propaganda, is hardly an unbiased surveyor of data.
The government science report predicts that sea levels may rise more slowly across the Pacific Northwest than in other parts of the country.
Huh? Aren't the oceans all connected? Is there some geologic caveat that abrogates the levels of water over the planet?
What a scare mongering article.

Sea levels have risen less than a foot since 1880 (137 years). But according to the Seattle Times, they'll rise six feet in the next 82 years.

What imbeciles. Didn't they see that the most recent NOA date shows the seas FALLING (more snow and ice on the poles). These "warmers" are lunatics.

Sea levels are receding not rising. Why are they receding? Arctic and Antarctic ice increases.

I’m still waiting for the Artic ice to melt and stay melted since 2013 when Algore said it would. So far, it hasn’t done that.

The whole Puget Sound area is actually rebounding from the last ice age and the area is rising.

I predict that by the year 3000, that 2% of sidewalks in Minneapolis will become too cracked to use. Oh the humanity!
