The Washington State Department Of Transportation is monitoring a section of I-5 in Bellingham, where a landslide brought traffic to a halt Sunday.

“Landslides are definitely something we're familiar with in western Washington, and that's why our crews do so much work to try to prevent them year-round,” WSDOT Spokesperson RB McKeon explained. Bellingham staff told KOMO News they have inspected and verified that all ditches and culverts in the area next to the slide are functioning properly and diverting stormwater away from the slope.
“The wind blew some debris- I believe it was a carpet pad- into the culvert, so it just became significantly blocked, and the water couldn't drain appropriately,” McKeon added.
