I-405 and Eastside Projects E-mail Updates

In May 2005, we began sending out e-mail updates on freeway and interchange improvements up and down the I-405 corridor. One year later, we expanded the scope of these e-mail updates to include projects on other Eastside highways.

We send these e-mail updates at least once per month. We may send them more often, but only if we have important or time-sensitive news to tell you. We may send messages as frequently as twice per week during the summer and fall construction season.

To join our e-mail update list, send a blank e-mail to subscribe-i-405@lists.wsdot.wa.gov. You'll receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your subscription. Just hit reply and send, and you'll receive another e-mail confirming that you are subscribed to our list.

Below are links to all of the past e-mail updates in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (.pdf). You can download a free copy of Adobe Reader at the Adobe Web site.
