Rolling Bay is similar to numerous other beach developments around Puget Sound where homes were constructed at the toe of steep coastal bluffs. Landslides periodically carry these homes onto the beach. Separate landslides also destroyed other homes at Rolling Bay in April, 1996, and in March, 1997.
