I-5 Repaving Alert South Thurston | Seattle News

Drivers on I-5 through south Thurston County, watch out—starting July 6, crews will be repaving 7 miles of highway from Maytown Road to Old Highway 99, a $9.3 million fix for worn pavement. Work happens overnight, Monday through Friday, with speed limits dropping to 55 mph and single or double lane closures from 6 PM to 8 AM and 8 PM to 6 AM. Rest areas at Scatter Creek and Maytown close at night but stay open during the day. Expect longer commutes during those hours, but the project should wrap up by October—when traffic’s lightest, minimizing delays.

Free Summer Concerts by the Falls | Seattle News

Free summer concerts are coming to Brewery Park this year, kicking off July 11th and running through September 5th under the scenic Tumwater Falls — all part of the new “Evenings at the Falls” series. Beyond the music, expect a nostalgic brewpub vibe with local food, a pop-up beer garden, and zero tickets or reservations needed. The Olympia Tumwater Foundation is also promoting their new “Friends of the Falls” membership program, launched in May, which funds community projects like a new History and Nature Center — and helps sustain the privately-run park without public funding. If the concerts resonate, they’re already planning to expand next year’s lineup, turning Brewery Park into a vibrant, community-driven destination.

World Cup Visitors: Cannabis Rules in WA | Seattle News

World Cup fans flocking to Seattle are curious about Washington’s booming cannabis scene—legal for all since way back when. Visitors 21+ can buy, but beware: public smoking’s off-limits, driving high is risky with strict THC limits, and transporting any product across state lines? That’s federal felony territory. TSA won’t hunt for it, but if found, you’re in trouble. Bottom line: smoke it or leave it behind before you head home.
