MOSES LAKE — Parts of Stratford Road in Moses Lake will be closed for repaving for the next couple of days.
The closure begins today at 6:30 a.m. and will affect the segment of Stratford from the north side of Valley Road to the north side of the intersection with Mart Road by Walmart, according to the city of Moses Lake.
On Tuesday the road will be closed between Knolls Vista Drive and the south side of the Mart Road intersection. The intersection at Valley Road will remain open during that time for traffic to the parking lots at the east side of the intersection. Motorists are urged to use alternate routes during the construction period.
The closures are part of a repair project that began in July and is expected to run until late November, according to previous Columbia Basin Herald reports. The total cost of the project is $1.7 million and C&R Tractor & Landscaping of Kelso is the contractor.
“The city appreciates everyone’s patience and understanding as the contractor works on this project,” said Lynne Lynch, public information officer for the city. “The improvements have been noticed and appreciated by the public. A resident recently contacted Municipal Services to thank engineers for a smoother road.”

Valentine’s Day cards flood Brookdale Hearthstone with love
MOSES LAKE — Residents at Brookdale Hearthstone Assisted Living in Moses Lake got Valentine’s Day greetings from across the country last month. “I believe that the only states we have not received (cards from) yet are Vermont and Maine,” Lifestyle Director Imelda Broyles said Feb. 24. “We keep receiving new cards every single day. They have not stopped. My residents are in awe with every single one of the cards that we’ve been receiving.” The Hearts Across America project started as a way for children in school classrooms to exchange Valentine’s Day cards with classes in other states or even countries, but the idea has expanded to senior living facilities, according to the project’s social media.
