📰 News we're reading

• Yelm Couplet Project considered by TRPC for a federal grant award! (yelmcommunity.org) — Yelm’s proposed Washington Avenue SE–McKenzie Avenue one-way couplet is recommended for full federal funding as part of a $16 million regional transportation package. The report identifies Nov. 6 as the council’s scheduled decision date but gives no outcome, so approval remains unconfirmed. If approved, implementation could move forward during federal fiscal years 2027–2032.
