SEQUIM – The intersection of Whitefeather Way and Hwy 101 in Sequim has temporarily closed. There is no access to or from Whitefeather Way at 101 through the summer 2025:
Instead, travelers will detour via West Sequim Bay Road.
Access to Olympic Discovery Trail from Whitefeather Way remains open.
The temporary change was put in place to help reduce the potential for collisions.
Also, along Hwy 101 between Happy Valley Road and Palo Alto Road, drivers are currently using a temporary bypass road related to a fish passage project. The temporary two-lane road allows crews to remove a culvert that carries Johnson Creek under the roadway. A new bridge will replace the culvert and remove barriers to fish.
The project removes fish blocking culverts at a half-dozen locations between Sequim and Gardiner.
And State Route 112 between Neah Bay and Sekiu reopened to traffic on Friday. The highway had been closed since the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 19 following the windstorm.
Drivers can expect one-way alternating traffic with a pilot car between milepost 3 and 7.
After crews complete additional work today, travelers will see a reduced speed limit of 25 mph and temporary stop signs at milepost 5.5. This is due to roadway sloughing.
The around-the-clock alternating traffic will be in place until permanent repairs can be made.
Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews had to remove numerous downed trees and debris to reopen the highway.
