Beginning Monday, July 30, SR 9 in Skagit County will close for five days so contractor crews can install a new culvert through Gribble Creek south of Mount Vernon. Before that work could happen, our environmental team had to ‘go fishing.’ In just two days, they relocated thousands of salmon, trout, crawdads and other aquatic species to keep them safe during construction.
