SR530 Landslide Commission Releases Final Report

Oso, Washington:  On December 15th, the SR530 Landslide Commission released it’s final report to Governor Jay Inslee and Executive John Lovick.

This report presents lessons learned and recommendations derived by the SR 530 Landslide Commission from a review of existing reports and presentations, and from a broad range of people, each with a unique perspective on the incident and events which followed. Their input was obtained either through one-on-one interviews, in small groups or because they were presenters at eight of the eleven Commission meetings.
