State Sen. Mark Mullet, an Issaquah Democrat whose district includes a majority of the SR 18 corridor, called the delay a “horrible proposal,” citing a need to stem traffic collisions, and noting he did not see a reason for the postponement.
“We have the funding to keep this project on track,” he said. “I think it was very shortsighted by the governor and I plan to use all my political capital to fight the delay.”
