The city received $500,000 to repair and build a quarter-of-a-mile of Alder Avenue.

The city received the funds through the Washington State Department of Transportation at the end of September. The Legislature had approved the funds in May 2012. The city is now planning to apply for federal grants to pay for replacing water and wastewater pipelines beneath Alder Avenue.
