A very simple and interesting website uses google maps to measure damage done by different levels of sea-level rise. Check out Olympia at 7 meters, pretty destructive.

In addition to pretty much wiping out downtown, both lower Budd Inlet and the historic Swantown Slough are restored. If you zoom out, a new saltwater inlet appears at the mouth of the Nisqually all the way down to McAllister Springs.

At 14 meters, most of Olympia from the Capital Campus north is gone, with Swantown Slough extending all the way to Watershed Park and even Eastside St. underwater.
