WASHINGTON Cold winds are blowing in from Canada and have set the stage for snow later this week.
Midday Monday, the Puget Sound already saw some light snowfall up north, and the potential for snow will only grow as the week marches on.

The greatest chance for snowfall will be Thursday and Friday, according to the National Weather Service. Before that snow comes, everyone should double-check and make sure they ve prepared for a worst-case scenario.

For WSDOT, Parsons and GeoEngineers proposed the Coffee Creek improved channel corridor solution that included completely rerouting Coffee Creek through nearly a mile of carefully designed habitat.
Project: Coffee Creek fish barrier removal
Client: Washington State Department of Transportation
Population levels of salmon, steelhead and other critical fish species have continued to drop across Washington state, impacting overall ecological health and the lucrative fishing industry. Older culverts and other manmade infrastructure are important factors in fish declines. Physical barriers and narrow channels with unnaturally rapid flow rates often prevent fish from accessing critical spawning and rearing habitat upstream. For decades, Native American tribes and conservation organizations have advocated to improve fish passage at the thousands of stream crossings beneath Washington roads.
