Washington State Patrol Troopers ramp up enforcement at Eagle Falls

WSP Media Release Cover

August 21, 2020

Index – As the summer nears the end, locals and tourists alike are scouring for areas to enjoy the sun. This summer a local hotspot has been Eagle Falls in Index. The popularity of this area has posed a dangerous parking issue along US 2 most of the summer. There have been cars parked over the white fog line, cars parked in the roadway and pedestrians nearly struck due to running across the roadway.
At the beginning of August, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) painted “No Parking” areas in hopes of deterring the illegal and dangerous parking situations that have been occurring. WSP Troopers have been patrolling the area, issuing parking tickets when necessary and in some rare cases, towing vehicles.
Due to the continuous illegal parking problems that are still taking place, additional WSP Troopers will be on duty to patrol the Eagle Falls area. If you’re going to visit the area make sure you do not park in areas where parking is restricted.
