Washington to pay for road repairs so Hoh Rain Forest can reopen

A washout has closed the only access road to the Olympic National Park’s popular Hoh Rain Forest since December.

But on Thursday, Gov. Bob Ferguson announced the state would pitch in $623,000 from its reserves to repair the Upper Hoh Road. Officials hope to reopen the road in May.

Ferguson said he’d read a news report about the road, the gateway to the rainforest that saw nearly 460,000 visitors last year.

“It’s the kind of thing where, if you’re just a Washingtonian, you read an article and think ‘for god’s sake, can’t someone just figure out this bureaucracy and get the road fixed,’” he said. “Because it’s a lot of money, but it’s not that much money.”
