HIGHWAY 101 REALIGNMENT PROJECT
IS UNDERWAY
The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, in partnership with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and Clallam County, is preparing to construct the US 101-Chicken Coop-Zaccardo Road Realignment Safety Project in Blyn . The project construction began in June 2017 and will be completed by October 2017.
The purpose of this project is to improve driver safety by reducing the two existing closely spaced Chicken Coop Road and Zaccardo Road intersections at US 101, milepost 271.59, to one intersection of a realigned Chicken Coop Road to US 101. The Zaccardo Road intersection at US 101 will be closed and realigned to intersect Chicken Coop Road, as shown in the graphic above. Additional improvements to US 101 include a westbound left turn pocket to Chicken Coop Road, an acceleration lane for left turns out of Chicken Coop Road to westbound US 101, and an eastbound right turn pocket in to Chicken Coop Road.

Tribal Economics in the U.S. produced by Oliver Routhe Skov - Danish TV
This video describes how "Many native Americans are struggling, both financially and socially. But some native American tribes are very successful in growing their economy. We seek an explanation for this economic success in Washington state with the S'Klallam Tribe as well as the
Walapai Tribe in Arizona."
Woody Debris Project in the Dungeness Watershed
In order to improve salmon rearing habitat in the upper Dungeness watershed the Forest Service partnered with the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and others to complete the Dungeness Large Woody Debris project.
This film highlights the needs and benefits of the Dungeness River Off-Channel Reservoir Project. Climate change has diminished North Olympic Mountain snowpack that created the worst drought in Washington State history (2015) sending the Dungeness Water Users into competition with 4 species of ESA-listed salmon and steelhead in late summer when both need it the most. The reservoir project will supply almost all the irrigation needs of the irrigators on the east side of the river while providing continued flow protection for the spawning salmon and stee lhead .
Since time immemorial the S'Klallam People have lived and prospered on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.
Known as 'the Strong People' the S'Klallams created a rich culture of art, spirituality, traditional knowledge and self-reliance that continues today.
