Keystone Jetty (Summer/Fall 2004).
The State of Washington is considering a jetty extension for their ferry terminal at Keystone.
At the present time, the currents and wave conditions are too severe to provide safe navigation
and cause considerable delays for the ferry system. This summer we are creating a 1:40 scale model
of the site. In the fall we will reproduce the existing current and wave conditions observed in
the field. After initial calibration using the existing jetty configuration, several proposed
alternatives will be tested and compared with numerical simulation to optimize the new jetty
configuration.
