"The 1933 session had appropriated money for a feasibility study of a
canal from Olympia to Grays Harbor. It was seen by many as a gigantic
public works project that would put many of the unemployed to work. The
study did conclude that the project was feasible and there was real enthusi-
asm at the outset of the 1935 session. However, as the dire financial condi-
tion of the state became obvious the canal project was relegated to the back
burner from which it has never emerged."
