Ballinger Way at 35th NE was closed for several hours after the pounding rainstorm during the early morning hours on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 flooded part of the highway.

Lake Forest Park Public Works Department and the Washington State Department of Transportation worked tirelessly over the last several hours to mitigate the stormwater issues and keep the public safe.

The road is open now.

    This is right by the undersized Lyon Creek culvert that will be widened in 2025: https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/sr-104-lyon-creek-fish-passage. While the project is primarily intended for fish passage, it may also have stormwater management benefits.

    If the creek was daylighted this might not have happened
