Columbian Live Chats
Regional transportation officials will join Columbian.com users for a live web chat at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 24.
The public works officials will discuss road construction projects in progress as well as others slated to begin in the summer or fall. The chat is a chance to learn more about what's going on with the roads in your area or on your commute, and ask any questions you might have about the projects that affect you.
Sign up for an email reminder below, or come back here on Friday to participate in the event. Login with Facebook, Twitter, OpenID or MySpace will be required to leave questions or comments, but anyone can watch the action. If you encounter technical problems, please contact social media coordinator Matt Wastradowski at 360-735-4559 or matt.wastradowski@columbian.com.
Readers who log in can send questions and comments from the chat window. Wastradowski will moderate the discussion, choosing which questions will go live.
