Recent Progress
WSDOT has conducted a total of four open house meetings and attended several meetings with businesses and community members. Over the spring, the project team developed five on-corridor and two off-corridor alternatives. Each alternative was measured against a variety of criteria, including: meeting project purpose and need; meeting WSDOT design standards; driveway and intersection conflict points; travel time; business displacements; residential displacements; wetland effects; stream, pond, and lake crossings; and potential contaminated sites. By mid-June, the seven alternatives were narrowed to three and presented at the June 14 open house. After meeting with and listening to local community members, WSDOT staff decided to move forward with the single on-corridor alternative.

Design Construction Impacts
While it is too early in project development to determine the exact magnitude, the size and complexity of the project clearly indicates there will be property impacts and business impacts. Known risks are property acquisitions, wetland impacts, storm water treatment and fish passage barriers.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
WSDOT has started the necessary environmental studies for this project. The studies will detail the project's direct and indirect environmental impacts (natural, ecological, societal and economic) in order to guide final design and construction.
