This view of 108th Street NE looking west across State Route 9 shows the bump blocking eastbound drivers' view of the intersection with SR 9. Before a single-lane roundabout can go in, this obstruction has to be removed. People need to be able to see the roundabout they are about to enter.
In short, we have to move a "mountain."

The hill on the west side of the intersection of State Route 9 and 108th Street NE in Marysville is noticably "smaller" now. This allows eastbound travelers to have a longer line of site as they head into (what will be) the new single-lane roundabout. Installation of the roundabout is slated for 2020.
