Happy Friday to everyone!

Sorry I had no quotes last week since I was gone. But my trip back east for my daughters wedding shower with family was a great success!!!! I was a bit sleep deprived by the time I got back - we were gone less than 3 days so quite a distance to travel in that short of a time - but we had a marvelous time.

Below is this weeks selections of quotes. Enjoy and I will see y'all next Friday

Daytime Lane Closures on SR-516

Expect Long Delays

Construction Scheduled for June 15 - July 10

Starting Monday, June 15th, expect daytime lane closures on SR-516 / Kent Kangley Rd. from Highway 18 to 168th Place S.E. This will be in effect to allow for the installation of a new median over a four week period.

One lane in each direction will be closed for the construction. One eastbound lane will close from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. and one westbound lane will close from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The City of Covington recommends planning ahead for traffic delays during the construction period or altering your schedule or route to avoid the lane closures.

The median installation is one part of an overall improvement project which also includes new sidewalks, crosswalks and traffic signals at the intersection of SR-516 and 168th Place S.E. When complete, the project will allow for improved traffic flow and pedestrian safety.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

I hope your Friday is as nice and beautiful as mine. We are having the most amazing weather here in Seattle.

This was a picture of the mountain that I captured yesterday while I was out and about. It was truly stunning!

I won't be posting any quotes next Friday - I am flying back east with my daughter for the weekend. She is getting married in July and many members of our family can't make the trip to Seattle. So we decided to fly her to them and have a bridal shower there, so they can be part of her special day.

Enjoy the quotes and I will see you in two weeks.
