SEQUIM – It’s been years in the making, but we can finally get a solid look at 14 potential improvements to Highway 101 on the east side of Sequim by going to an online open house created by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
As of Thursday, Jan. 27, WSDOT is hosting a pre-design study on the section of highway between the Simdars Road interchange and Palo Alto Road. Through Thursday, Feb. 10, the public can get a look at proposed solutions to the safety and access issues that have plagued that section of highway where it meets Simdars Road, Palo Alto Road, Whitefeather Way and Happy Valley Road.
Visitors to the open house are encouraged to leave feedback on everything from safety, to mobility and economic development.
After the open house, WSDOT will finalize recommendations and publish a report.
