č̕ixʷícən (Tse-whit-zen) Protection Area Restoration, Port Angeles -- $850,000

• The Port of Port Angeles will receive $850K to help restore 6+ acres of Port-owned land to remove derelict infrastructure from the site and return it to a non-industrial condition.

Makah Housing Resilience Project -- $1,200,000

• The Makah Tribe in Neah Bay will receive $1.2M in federal funding to construct durable high-quality housing that supports long-term community stability and essential service retention. Neah Bay is facing a severe housing shortage with 80-100 applicants currently on housing waiting lists.

Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Grays Harbor County Projects

Southern End Erosion Project -- $1,145,144

• The City of Ocean Shores will receive $1.1M to help protect the City's stormwater drainage system against threats of erosion. The original system was installed nearly 70 years ago and has sewer lines that could be affected if saltwater were to overtop the berm. This would also pose threats to the pump station and one of the freshwater tanks. The proposed project will build a bigger, stronger, and more resilient berm that will save taxpayer money in the long-run. Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Transforming Healthcare for the Harbor -- $1,000,000

• The Grays Harbor Community Hospital in Aberdeen will receive $1M to replace Harbor Regional Health's outdate 1992 records system with a modern, cloud-based electronic medical record. This new system will improve patient safety and help improve coordination between inpatient and outpatient care, and also between partner hospitals and VA systems. Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Quinault Indian Nation Fire Station Construction -- $1,015,000

• The Quinault Indian Nation in Taholah will receive $1M to construct a fire station in Grays Harbor County. The Tribe does not currently have any dedicated firefighting facilities to house their fire engine and tender, resulting in longer response times for Tribal members in more remote and rural areas. Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Jefferson County Projects:

Hoh Tribe Resiliency Center -- $3,150,000

• The Hoh Indian Tribe will receive $3.1M to construct an evacuation and community center in Forks to protect residents in the event of extreme weather or tsunami.

Community Respite Center -- $1,736,255

• The Kitsap County Department of Human Services will receive $1.7M to provide transitional, respite housing for people recently discharged from local hospitals who are experiencing homelessness.

Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

WSF Southworth Terminal Redevelopment -- $850,000

• Washington State Ferries will receive $850K to help replace the Southworth Ferry Terminal building, improve passenger and transit circulation, and help replace the timber trestle structure. The original Southworth Ferry Terminal was constructed in 1958 and is in critical need of updates. The replacement will add 75 years of lifespan to the trestle, improve resiliency and stormwater treatment, and will help advance other projects to improve bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle mobility. Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Mason County Projects:

Jorstad Substation Grid Resilience Project -- $1,145,144

• Mason County PUD 1 will receive $1.1M to construct a substation in Lilliwaup to service a 46.3 mile stretch of power distribution lines that serve Hood Canal. 3,551 homes and businesses would benefit from increased power reliability and improved grid resilience. This project will help reduce outages, saving approximately $120,935 annually from reducing overtime response costs. Rep. Randall submitted a letter of support for the project in May 2025.

Northwest Seaport Alliance Berth Deepening on the Blair Waterway -- $2,000,000

• The Northwest Seaport Alliance will receive $2M for the Husky Terminal and Washington United Terminal berth deepening project. The project will deepen the entire waterway by 57 feet and widen the turning basin so larger ships can pass through the terminals without draft restrictions. These improvements will allow international container terminals to service larger vessels which is critical to maintaining and growing the workforce on the docks and in supporting industries including the trucking, warehouse, and agricultural sectors.  Rep. Randall wrote a letter of support for the project in May 2025.
