Food news!

Unfortunately, the walk-in freezer at Grays Harbor Fairgrounds is broken, so they will not be able to provide food for on-site lunches on Friday and Saturday.

Would everyone be open to having us bring in pizza instead?

2nd Question: Who is planning on attending the Thursday dinner?

Thank you and see you soon!

Some of these closures have detours, but a warning: Detour routes cannot accommodate normal traffic volumes, so try to travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay your trip to help minimize backups. Keep an eye on our real-time travel map for traffic information: https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/

It's been a long summer of road work. You've been patient, and we're grateful for that. We need to get this work done now before we fully enter The Big Gray.
