Council scheduled to consider revised WSDOT agreement for 88th St NE Phase 1 federal funds

What the records say

In the June 8, 2026 agenda packet, the council was scheduled to consider a motion authorizing the Mayor to sign and execute Local Agency Agreement Supplement No. 2 and a Local Agency Federal Aid Project Prospectus with the Washington State Department of Transportation for the 88th St NE Corridor Improvement — Phase 1 project ¹. The packet says the council had approved an earlier LAA Supplement No. 2 and prospectus on April 13, 2026 to obligate $4,407,274 in federal construction funds, but WSDOT had not executed that agreement because of right-of-way certification and design approval processing requirements ¹. The packet also says the Puget Sound Regional Council has since approved an additional $1,712,777, increasing the total federal construction obligation to $6,120,051, and that the changes require a revised LAA Supplement and corresponding prospectus ¹. Once WSDOT executes the agreement, the project will be advertised for construction, according to the packet ¹. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.
