As cars zip by on the adjacent State Route 18, Snoqualmie Tribal Chairman Robert de los Angeles asks for a moment of silence from the audience to remember those whose lives have been lost to the roadway. Standing in a gravel lot just south of Snoqualmie Ridge, de los Angeles is joined by Gov. Jay Inslee and nearly every elected official and public servant with ties to the Valley to break ground on the much-anticipated State Route 18 and Interstate 90 interchange construction project. After nearly a decade of work, construction on the interchange is expected to begin in November — and ultimately bring congestion relief and safety improvements on one of the state's most dangerous and congested highways.
