Project History:   

A storm in January of 2020 damaged the previous culvert under Killebrew Lake Road. With consultation from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), San Juan County immediately replaced the 24-inch culvert with the long-term goal of installing a more permanent, fish-passable culvert in the future. Now, the Public Works Department has contracted with Matia Contractors from Ferndale to install the new culvert. The project is funded by emergency response and replacement funds from FEMA.

Project Timeline: 

The project will begin July 10 and is expected to be completed by the end of September.
