One of you readers mentioned in the comments to my Tracyton Beach Road story earlier this week that Highway 166, the road between Port Orchard and Gorst, is settling. I called WSDOT’s Claudia Bingham-Baker and she asked the maintenance crew to take a look at it. Here’s the photo they snapped.
She says they’re aware of it and plan to level and patch the road this summer.
I don’t know if this is related to the mudslides along there
that would close the highway almost annually. It took several
years, but the state seemed to get that under control.
