Governor thanks ferry employees working during the Walla Walla grounding
On Friday, Gov. Jay Inslee personally thanked several of our employees for their professionalism and expertise in the moments before and after Walla Walla <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJi

to a loss of propulsion and steering controls while travelling from Bremerton to Seattle. As soon as the crew knew there was no choice but to run aground, they immediately deployed
the anchor to slow down the ferry and warned passengers to brace for impact. Because of their quick thinking and actions, no one was hurt. Once aground, crewmembers immediately made
sure everyone put on a life preserver and deployed slides in case an immediate evacuation became necessary. Fortunately, that was not the case, and all passengers were evacuated via
a Kitsap County passenger-only ferry. We appreciate the support our Kitsap County transportation partners provided that evening.

Gov. Jay Inslee thanks several of our employees who worked the evening of the Walla Walla grounding at Bremerton terminal Friday.
An investigation into what caused the fuel issue is ongoing. New, upgraded generator monitoring gauges have been installed on both Walla Walla and its sister ship Spokane to prevent
a similar incident from happening again. Thank you to all our vessel crews for the hard work and training you do to make sure everyone is safe when riding our ferries!

walkway linking it to the terminal building can open to the public. We'll announce an opening date after the inspections are done. If you travel through our Seattle terminal in a motor
vehicle or bike, you’ve also probably noticed the pavement has been resurfaced and striped. The final element of the new Colman Dock is the city of Seattle’s Marion Street pedestrian

There is a lot of summer construction this year – here’s how to prepare
Construction is picking up to provide Washington travelers safer and more accessible transportation systems and to improve environmental habitats. From paving to bridge repairs to creating
better routes for fish in area waterways, you’ll see lots of crews working this summer <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDksInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHB

> on and near state highways, and that means closures, delays or congestion. Many of these projects will overlap in locations and timing – and in most cases, there is no way to avoid
weekends, holidays and large events.
While WSDOT works to make these road improvements it will be more important than ever to stay informed and “know before you go,” whether traveling across town or statewide. Tools, tips
and an explanation of the extent of the work is available in two recent WSDOT blog posts: Here comes the sun – and a LOT of summer construction <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl
