Action

You can help us make Interstate 90 safer for wildlife and people today by taking action.  Your actions to date have made a big difference, and below are ways that you can continue to help:

1.  Contact your elected officials for additional funding for the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East Project.  Click here to send a message to your state representatives to support I-90.

The first 5 miles, Phase 1 (A, B, and C) have been funded by the Washington State Legislature and are under construction now.  The remaining 10 miles of the project still require funding.  Stay tuned to our project funding page for the latest information on our efforts with partners to fund the remaining 10 miles, and help us keep the pressure up on our elected officials to keep this project at the top of their lists.

2.  Volunteer to monitor wildlife in the I-90 corridor. 

Report what live or dead wildlife you see on or near the road as you drive the I-90 corridor from North Bend to Easton through our I-90 Wildlife Watch website at www.i90wildlifewatch.org.

Want to do more monitoring?  Help us monitor wildlife in the Central Cascades by joining our Remote Camera team or snow tracking teams through our coordinated Cascades Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Program with Conservation Northwest and Wilderness Awareness School.  To find out more about our monitoring effort click here.  To volunteer email info@i90wildlifebridges.org

3.  Stay Informed.

Sign-up to receive our monthly e-newsletter with the latest information on coalition efforts and project news.  Email our office and type “subscribe” in the subject line at info@i90wildlifebridges.org

4.  Visit the Project Area.

Take a drive down I-90 from Hyak to Easton, and look around the project area.

There is no better way to understand the current needs and future possibilities for this project, then taking a look yourself. You can pull over for a day hike at Gold Creek (managed be the United States Forest Service) and enjoy an interpretive look at Gold Creek Pond or take a day hike up the Gold Creek valley with great views back on the project area.

5.  Donate. 

Your donation today will keep our efforts going from our Bridging Futures art contest with statewide elementary school children to our citizen monitoring projects, and our work to keep this project moving forward.  We operate on a very small annual budget, so every dollar matters and we appreciate the support.

You can donate online via our fiscal sponsor’s website, and mark “I-90 Wildlife Bridges Coalition” in the comments.  We’ll get busy putting your money to work right away.  Or send a check to our office at I-90 Wildlife Bridges Coalition, 3600 15th Ave W #101, Seattle WA 98109.
