Thursdays, by Caitlin Morris

Lately, my anger and I have been hanging out more regularly. At first, we saw each other in passing, just a nod in work meetings, a quick "hi" on the evening commute, a knowing look during calls from our brother. We saw a lot of each other on the internet too.

Peaches

When she realized she’d forgotten the peaches, she was idling at the four-way stop a block away from home, and the peaches were still on the side of a country road forty-five minutes outside the city. She closed her hands tighter over the steering wheel, envisioning the abandoned cardboard boxes. Inside them, the sweet peaches, pock-marked by sparrows, wriggling with ants.

The Procedure - Ghost Parachute

A while ago, I dreamed that I was sick. I went to the doctor, and she told me that my illness had to be cured immediately. "How?" I asked. "By removing your heart," she said. "It's very easy." She gave me a knife. "After it's out, put your heart on this tray," she said pointing [...]

You want it? You got it.

Ever since the I-405 Express Toll Lanes opened in September 2015, we've been listening to your feedback and suggestions for how we can improve the system. While we can't make every change, when we see an opportunity to improve the system, we want to do it. Starting Thursday night, our contractor's crews will continue making adjustments to the express toll lanes based on your feedback.

SR 167 and the Ancient Art of Masonry

When you think about highway noise walls-which I'm sure you do on a daily basis-the word romantic probably isn't the first adjective that comes to mind. But that's exactly how our own Paul Kinderman, State Bridge and Structures Architect, describes the technique used to create the 1.3-mile noise wall along the eastside of SR 167 in Algona.

Giving runoff pollution a...swirly?

Caring for the environment is about to take a page from the old high school prank book. On Friday, Oct. 23, crews will begin installing a new storm water drainage system along northbound I-405 in Bothell that literally swirls debris and pollutants away from water headed to the Sammamish River.

What do 850 football fields, 1,500 Boeing 747 wingspans and the height of 21 Mt. Rainiers have in common? They all stretch 300,000 feet. That’s also how much new striping our crews will install on Interstate 405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood in preparation for express toll lanes opening Sept. 27. Starting as early as late Friday, Sept. 18, between Interstate 5 in Lynnwood and NE 160th Street, drivers will begin to see double white lines on I-405. Restricted HOV access begins Saturday.

The Bothell Braids Untangled: Understanding the new I-405/160th interchange

On the morning of August 31, Bothell drivers who haven't had their first cup of coffee could find themselves headed for a surprise as they attempt to enter northbound Interstate 405 from Northeast 160th Street. Currently, drivers are using a temporary ramp located on the south side of Northeast160th Street.
