Connecting communities - New SR 518 off-ramp opens in Burien

By Nicole Daniels

UPDATE
The new eastbound SR 518 off-ramp to Des Moines Memorial Drive in Burien officially opened to visitors at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 10.

New opportunities are about to turn out to be handy for Burien travelers. On Friday, Jan. 11, a new two-lane off-ramp from eastbound State Route 518 to Des Moines Memorial Drive is scheduled to open.



Quick historical past lesson for anybody unfamiliar with the area: For years, tourists might in basic terms entry Des Moines Memorial Drive by way of metropolis streets and a westbound SR 518 off-ramp. Drivers headed eastbound on SR 518 needed to go out the street and use native streets to entry Des Moines Memorial Drive. Streets that weren’t designed for the heavy automobile and truck traffic.

This new ramp will channel visitors clear of these native streets and supply a extra direct route for cars and vans shifting items among the metropolis of Burien’s Northeast Redevelopment Area (NERA), the Port of Seattle and the higher Puget Sound region.



This is one among the primary Connecting Washington tasks to be finished in western Washington. Connecting Washington is a 16-year, $16 billion application designed to boost and hold the state’s transportation system. Projects are scheduled by way of 2031.

Antigua - God's City of Earthquakes

Here I am overlooking the old capital of Antigua, it's not actually the first capital of Guatemala in fact It is generally considered to be the third. The first was a capital that was used by the natives that the Conquistadors had to overcome and then the cockiest adores made their first papal Well from the distance there is just beyond see the big red square building where there's an orange roof and a white horizontal stripe well That's where the first capital was made and it was there for about twenty years until it rained for three days This was a bit of a disaster because on the huge slopes of that massive volcano over there Looking - over looking the town That's known in the local languages as Hunahpú Mudslides formed.

Christchurch: Mental Illness after an Earthquake

I’m too scared of bunk beds ‘cause it’s wobbly. I guess it was pretty traumatic for a three and a half year old to see her entire house falling inside. What does the wobbly remind you of? The shake shakes. You avoid a whole lot of stuff, you’re not yourself, you’re aware of it but part of you doesn’t want to know. I never actually thought of myself as having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but then it’s really hard to think about who was I, what was I, what was life prior to the earthquakes? [Narrator] Babette Rothschild has spent her career counselling people who have experienced major trauma. Often PTSD develops well after an event. Babette's been watching news coverage of the Christchurch earthquake, aware that the city will be reaching a new crisis. PTSD doesn’t have a timeline, people can suffer from it for a year or two or for a lifetime, especially if they’re not able to click in their resources or if they don’t get the support they need and whatever it is that meets thei
