Inspecting the Butler Street lot

Cathlamet Public Works Department closed the Butler Street parking lot Tuesday for a geotechnical inspection of the ground. The crew dug two small 5-foot-deep trenches for evaluation. Public Works Superintendent David McNally said the lot would be opened after the trenches were filled. The lot will eventually be developed for paved parking, an electronic vehicle charging station, and visitor's kiosk. Photo by Rick Nelson.
