ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) — The National Weather Service says 20-foot waves and high tides threaten some communities on the Washington coast.

Forecasters say they threaten severe erosion of the jetty protecting La Push and the lower Quileute tribal village during high tied around noon Monday.

During high tide Sunday water covered sidewalks in Westport near the marina. But, City Administrator Randy Lewis told KBKW water didn’t appear to get into buildings.
