Three more nights for the NE 185th closure in Lake Forest Park

NE 185th Street will close nightly from 9 PM to 5 AM starting August 25, 2025, until August 29, 2025, in Lake Forest Park. The closure affects the stretch near 35th Ave NE, permitting local access while through traffic is redirected via a signed detour. This work supports the SR 104-Lyon Creek fish passage project, which aims to improve fish migration and restore natural habitats. Local authorities stress the project's significance for the local ecosystem, which has been impacted by urban development. Residents are encouraged to plan alternate routes to avoid delays during the closure.

The project is part of broader efforts to enhance ecological connectivity in the area. The roadwork will also minimize disruptions to local businesses by maintaining access for residents. Improved fish passage is expected to contribute positively to the biodiversity of the region.
