The SR 509 Completion Project in the SeaTac/Des Moines area includes a new Veteran's Drive tunnel under I-5.
After completing the section of the tunnel that will be under the I-5 median, crews began the hard work of burying it under lots of dirt and gravel. You can't just dump tons (literally) of dirt and rock on top because that could cause the tunnel structures to lean to one side or twist.
Instead, crews add dirt and rock to one side, building it up about 4 feet at time, spread it out, compact it and then move to the other side and repeat the process. Then back to the other side and repeat again. They will keep up this process until the structures are completely covered.
The SR 509 Completion project is part of the Puget Sound Gateway program which completes critical missing links in Washington state's highway and freight network.
Camp Darby celebrates the completion of a $42 million infrastructure modernization project, that includes railway bridge over the Navicelli Canal, upgrades to canal docks and a safe zone of loading and unloading ammunition. The project funded by the U.S. government, is a key strategic project and contributes to improving security at the site. Ribbon cutting ceremony was held Sept. 22, 2022
The SR 167 completion project is building a portion of the new spuyaləpabš Trail in Pierce County. The trail will roughly follow SR 167 from Puyallup through Fife and Tacoma. The name spuyaləpabš is the Lushootseed name for the Puyallup People, translated as “people from the bend at the bottom of the river.” The name was recommended by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Much of the trail will be located on the tribal reservation.

Artwork by Coast Salish artists will be featured at key locations along the trail, telling the stories and culture of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians.
This concept visualization shows the art proposed for the spuyaləpabš Trail near the Puyallup Recreation Center.
Art is still in draft form. Art will be installed during the final stage of the SR 167 Completion Project.

On a bright, sunny day, crews on the SR 509 Completion Project set column forms for a future 1,587-foot-long bridge that will carry the new SR 509 expressway in south King County.
Column forms act as molds, holding concrete in place as it hardens into strong piers that will support the bridge structure. Once complete, the bridge will span nearly a third of a mile.
This work is a part of the State Route 509 Completion Project, which connects SR 509 to I-5.

A happy group at the end of the Inca Trail and ready to meet with our companions from the tour party who hadn't undertaken the walk

Crews are building the abutment walls for one of the five new bridges that will carry the future SR 509 Expressway in south King County. Abutment walls form the ends of a bridge and support the structure as it rises over the ground below.
In SeaTac, this bridge will span Des Moines Creek Trail and nearby wetlands, creating a key connection while protecting the sensitive environment underneath.

The SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County, WA welcomed federal and regional leaders from the Environmental Protection Agency to our wetland restoration area on March 27, 2024.
In this photo, EPA Acting Assistant Administrator of Water, Bruno Pigott is on the far left. At center is Casey Sixkiller, the EPA's Northwest Region 10 Administrator.
We showed them the work we're doing to restore Hylebos Creek in Pierce County, WA along with more than 150 acres of surrounding wetland as part of the SR 167 Completion Project.
The SR 167 Completion project, along with restoring this vital habitat is part of our Puget Sound Gateway Program which completes critical links in Washington’s highway and freight network. It will build an important new connection to the Port of Tacoma, improve the movement of freight and reduce congestion on local roads and highways.
Good job everyone!
Last year, only 3 of us were diligent enough to get to every punch. It was a bit tedious, but we all did it this year! (Except for Jessi & Toni, who ran around the maze and then left earlier, instead.)

Crews on the SR 509 Completion Project dig trenches to install drainage pipes near State Route 516 near SeaTac, WA. The drainage pipes will help capture and transport run-off to treatment areas.
The completion project is being built under the Puget Sound Gateway Program. The Gateway program combines the SR 509 Completion Project in King County and the SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County to complete critical missing links in Washington’s highway and freight network.
Crews on the SR 509 Completion Project in south King County install the framework for a new bus stop on SR 516, also known as Kent-Des Moines Road. The SR 509 Completion Project includes new or improved connections to existing transit centers and stops.

The SR 167 Completion Project includes a unique program to restore more than 150 acres of wetlands on both sides of I-5 near Fife.
The restoration work includes realigning Hylebos Creek and putting in about 800,000 native plants and trees.
Decades ago, Hylebos Creek was rerouted into what was essentially an irrigation ditch so that the surrounding wetlands could serve agricultural and industrial needs. This resulted in a slow decline in the fish and wildlife population. It also led to chronic flooding on I-5 because the natural reservoir areas that absorbed extra water from heavy rainstorms no longer existed.
Crews are turning it back into wetlands.
In summer 2023, our crews excavated and realigned Hylebos Creek west of SR 99. In the winter and spring of 2024, they started adding plants to the area in a carefully laid out grid patter. This section west of SR 99 will have roughly 80,000 new trees, shrubs and other vegetation. This will add diversity to the ecosystem to encourage the return of more wildlife.

Along South 160th Street in Burien, WA, crew members work together to build a sidewalk along the newly constructed road.
The workers hold a large plastic tarp that will be placed on freshly leveled concrete. This covering allows for a controlled environment with moisture for the concrete cure.

The Y chromosome is one of two human sex chromosomes, the other being the X chromosome. When researchers completed the first human genome sequence 20 years ago, gaps were left in the sequences of every chromosome, and in the race to sequence the human genome, the Y chromosome got left in the dust.
The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, a team of researchers funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has generated the first truly complete sequence of a human Y chromosome, the final human chromosome to be fully sequenced. The new sequence, which fills in gaps across more than 50% of the Y chromosome’s length, uncovers important genetic features with implications for fertility, such as factors in sperm production.
