First of all nothing has been decided yet. It's still preliminary planning.
Second, in the short term, yes it will be a big pain in the butt for all of those in Monroe Harbor. But in the long run, it could be the best thing that ever happened to that harbor. Additional break-walls have been needed there for many, many years. There has never been any funds available to build them. Now, if in fact they do get the Olympics, they will have to do something about the wave action inside the harbor.

As far as other options, you are getting two new harbors. From what I have heard the Gateway and 31st Street harbors are a done deal. Finny provided links to these two plans.
