THE FREE ELWHA exhibit is on now through Feb. 5

Join us for an Artists’ Reception for this exhibit on Thurs., Jan. 14 – 5-7 p.m.
Campus Art Gallery (1000 bldg. lobby)

Shoreline faculty, Lauren Greathouse and Claire Putney, present an exhibition of photographic works that focus on the history, evolution and recovery of the Elwha River, located on the Olympic Peninsula. This series of images is not merely about a free river, but part of a larger investigation of the human desire to domesticate the landscape and control natural resources in ways that benefit human existence. This exhibition references the history of the dams as well as the current reclamation of wildlife habitats and river ecosystems. While the removal of these dams deeply engages social, cultural and political systems, the visual power of the physical landscape documented by Greathouse and Putney speaks to the intimate connection between its human and natural history.

A collaboration between Shoreline Community College and the City of Shoreline to bring visibility to the college and note the community’s rich heritage of excellence in education is now on display, hanging from light poles along Aurora Avenue North from 155th Street to 165th Street.

College-themed street banners were added to the light poles on Jan. 10, 2016. The double banners feature two images, one of a Shoreline Community College student and another of the flora found on campus. The installation will completed in the coming weeks when brackets and banners will be added to several poles to between 160th Street and 165th Street.

The banners are just the beginning of awareness campaign.

The next step will be a ceremonial designation for the portion of 160th Street from Aurora Avenue to Greenwood Avenue near the college entrance as “College Way.” New brown “College Way” lighted signs will be added to the existing blue “160th Street” signs on traffic-light arms at 160th Street and Aurora Avenue. On the side-street corners, smaller brown metal signs with “College Way” will be added to the existing blue street-name signs.

For the sake of ease and simplicity, formal addresses along that section will continue to use 160th Street.

While the city is making the banners and street designation possible, the college is paying for the new signage.

Westbound I-90 down to one lane this weekend
Beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8, westbound I-90 will be down to one lane near Bellevue Way then detoured to the express lanes until 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11. Contractor crews continue their work to upgrade operations and safety systems in the eastbound Mount Baker and Mercer Island tunnels. Most of the work during these weekends is taking place inside the tunnels and out of the view of drivers.

Eastbound SR 18 full closure near Green River Bridge this weekend
Good news and bad news on SR 18! First, the good: Eastbound delays between Auburn and Covington should come to an end shortly! The right lane after the Green River (Neeley) Bridge has been closed since Dec. 8, when heavy rain severely damaged the roadway. Since then, contractor crews have been stabilizing the hillside and installing drains ahead of this weekend’s pavement repairs. And here’s the bad: This repair work requires a full closure of eastbound SR 18 at Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8. If all goes well, both lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11.

Don’t panic if you receive a Notice of Civil Penalty for unpaid toll bills.
It’s been three months since the first toll bills were mailed for the I-405 express toll lanes. If you still have a toll bill sitting in your to-do pile, please be sure to make your payment before it becomes a civil penalty of $40 per toll trip. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you, but if it does, here are some tips to reduce your bill: 

  • Know you have an unpaid toll? Don’t wait to receive a late fee, pay your bill at MyGoodToGo.com, by mail, or over the phone.
  • Save money with a Good To Go! Open a Good To Go! account to pay a lower toll rate and avoid future bills in the mail. Call us to open an account, and be sure to ask the agent to add unpaid tolls to your account via Pay By Plate. You can save up to $1.75 per toll.
  • Good news if you receive a late fee or civil penalty. This past summer we introduced a new customer service policy offering first-time forgiveness of penalties. If this is your first time receiving a civil penalty for unpaid tolls you can request a one-time waiver of all unpaid late fees and penalties as long as you pay the original tolls.

You can read more advice for dealing with civil penalties on the WSDOT Blog.
