The Washington State Transportation Commission renamed a 23-mile section of SR 530 to the "Oso Slide Memorial Highway” in 2019.of the disaster to “honor those who were lost in the event, the survivors, the responders, and the surrounding communities.” A remembrance ceremony will be held at the memorial site starting at 10 a.m. Friday, with a site dedication ceremony scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
