Very impressive. Meets all the standards I can think of. If it is decided later on to compress I-82 exits into one row ("See I-82 for exits on I-82"), that's OK too. —Rob (talk) 18:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Eventual completion of EV charger project

Hey everyone!

Per this diff - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=U.S._Route_12_in_Washington&diff=1161155538&oldid=1160944503] - unable to add any info regarding an EV charging station project thru the scenic byway corridor until it's completed (maybe) but when that happens and editors wish to add it back in, I found a New York Times link briefly mentioning the initiative's beginnings - [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/30/travel/ev-road-trip-ideas.html New York Times - 5 Scenic E.V. Road Trips]

Enjoy!

Flood of '77

Hey everyone!

I find it notable but can't find the right place to slot in the loss of bridges (particularly the collapse of the Johnson Creek Bridge near Packwood) on the WPSB in eastern Lewis County during the devasting 1977 floods.{{cite news |last1=Benowitz |first1=Sam |title=East county hit hard by rampaging rivers |url=https://www.newspaperarchive.com/us/washington/centralia/centralia-daily-chronicle/1977/12-03/page-1 |access-date=May 23, 2024 |work=The Daily Chronicle |date=December 3, 1977 |page=1}}

Instead of banging my head against a wall here, I leave it up to others to add if found notable to them and in a proper place (and find more about the rebuilds of the bridges).

Thanks!
