The County Connection | Crab Lore and Local Roads: Building Washington’s Next Big Infrastructure Program – Episode 209
In this episode, Paul Jewell welcomes back Jane Wall of the County Road Administration Board to explore the newly authorized Local Roads Program. They break down why local roads make up more than half of county-owned lane miles, why they’ve never had a state-funded program until now, and how upcoming seed funding could get counties shovel-ready by 2027. Jane also digs into preservation, resiliency, and why counties must stay front‑and‑center in statewide transportation investments. A must‑listen for anyone tracking Washington’s infrastructure future.
Recorded: January 28, 2026
