Major downtown Olympia road to close for three years during construction, WA says

The updated plans for restoring the Deschutes Estuary in downtown Olympia from its current status as a stagnant lake have gotten the attention of residents due to one specific change: The entire portion of Deschutes Parkway around Capitol Lake will need to be closed for up to three years to get the work done. Olympia resident Bill Elliott said on Nextdoor on Oct. 30 that he learned about the planned road closure at a public open house for the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Oct. 28 at the Olympia Center. He said the event was only attended by about 20 people. “An up to 3-year closure of Deschutes Parkway Southwest between Lakeridge Drive and 5th Avenue is now being proposed for the Deschutes Estuary Restoration project,” he said. “The up to 3-year street closure is to allow for construction of the new roundabout at the intersection of Deschutes Parkway SW, Olympic Street, and the new bridge approach. That seems like a very generous street closure duration for the described work.” According to previous reporting, the project is one of the biggest urban restoration projects in the country.

Dine Inside A Beautifully Restored Train Car At This Unique Washington Restaurant

King County Metro planning service changes for new Renton Transit Center

As part of the Stride S1 line, Sound Transit is building a new transit center in Renton, adjacent to the existing South Renton Park and Ride. When it opens in 2028, it will be known as simply Renton Transit Center, and will replace both the existing Renton Transit Center in downtown Renton, and the adjacent South Renton Park and Ride. Commuters need not fret over lack of parking, as the new transit center will include a new garage dedicated for commuter parking that is larger than the parking at both current facilities that are reserved for transit commuters. With the transit center moving, bus service has to move with it, and Metro has made its first service proposal on what that may look like in its Renton Area Mobility Project (RAMP). Details below the jump.
