STANWOOD – Is this the Fellowship of the Two Streams? Either way, people traveling through northern Snohomish and southern Whatcom counties, “You shall bypass!” for two Interstate 5 fish barrier removal projects. Just remember, “Not all of those who wander are lost.”
Beginning early Friday, June 27, people traveling on northbound I-5 near Stanwood will need to follow bypass lanes to allow work to continue into the next phase of the I-5 Secret Creek Fish Passage project. Southbound I-5 traffic in the area shifted to a bypass earlier this year.
A similar journey will begin just south of Bellingham for travelers along southbound I-5 starting late Sunday, June 29, for another I-5 fish barrier removal project at Lake Creek.
