DARRINGTON — With a moment of silence and a community walk, the stretch of highway in Snohomish County covered by a massive mudslide two months ago reopened on Saturday.
Gov. Jay Inslee joined the ceremony on Saturday as community members walked the mile-and-a-half stretch of Highway 530.
The March 22 mudslide that covered the road in debris killed 42 people. One other person, Kris Regelbrugge, is still missing.
Since last month, many vehicles traveling from Darringon to Arlington have been driving around the slide by traveling on a gravel Seattle City Light access road.
The reopened stretch of highway will have a single-lane for alternating traffic with speed limits of 25 mph.
