Overview
WSDOT cleared trees and brush and placed thousands of pounds of rock to stop slide movement on SR 530 in the Skaglund Hill area near Hazel, west of Darrington.
In February 2005, rains saturated the soil that supports SR 530 and a massive slide undermined the road and pushed it toward the Stillaguamish River.
 | Improves Safety
Stopping the slide and securing the hillside will reduce the risk of further slides and help keep the road safe for drivers.

Partnerships & Cooperation
The project was within the “usual and accustomed” (U&A) area of the Stillaguamish Tribe, Sauk-Suiattle Tribe, Snoqualmie Tribe, and Samish Tribe. The three affected tribes were coordinated with under the Section 106 consultation process regarding our project and to address any concerns they may have regarding cultural or fisheries resources.
Funding
The estimated cost for this project was $5.1 million. This project received federal emergency funds under Gov. Gregoire's disaster declaration in February.
