Road near Fall City landslide remains open to one-way traffic for now

Road crews continue to monitor a slow-moving landslide in Fall City that has caused a crack in 356th Drive SE near State Route 202.

On Monday, King County Emergency Management asked nearby residents to voluntarily evacuate. But neighbors got good news Friday when road managers announced that the damaged stretch of 356th Dr. SE will remain open.

“We will continue to monitor the road 24 hours a day, to make sure nothing has changed,” said Rick Brater, Director of King County Road Services.

The decision follows a 3-hour investigation by outside experts to determine if the road is stable enough to keep allowing alternating traffic on one lane. While the experts determined it was safe, there are limitations. There is now a 5-ton limit on vehicles. Traffic is now controlled by a stoplight on each end.

I would not drive down that road, even if I was a nearby resident. I would evacuate, at least for a while.
