Run from the Cops! 5K

Run from the Cops 5K Fun Run was a night time fundraising run that took place Saturday, September 28th in Puyallup. The event was hosted by Puyallup Police Department and all proceeds collected benefit Special Olympics Washington.  Participants needed to cross the finish line in 30 minutes or less to avoid being corralled into the “Special Olympics Slammer” and ticketed for not being able to out run the cops!  Walkers, runners, kids and costumes were welcome! Here's a photo of team "Fife's Felons" after they completed the run.

Free truck inspections

The Port of Tacoma and the Fife Police Department have partnered to bring truck safety to the forefront! FREE truck inspections will be offered on Saturday, October 5th. Trucks that pass inspection will receive CVSA stickers on the spot. Call or email to schedule your appointment!

Safe Street of the Week

Due to an increase in number of collisions, along with reports of speeding on the newly widened 70th Avenue, we have dedicated it as this week's Safe Street Of The Week. The posted speed limit is 35 mph. Enforcement will occur between 20th Street E. and N. Levee Road. Thank you for helping us keep Fife streets safe!

Crosswalk painting

 

Stop bars and crosswalks are being re-painted on 54th Ave. on the south side of I5. Lanes are reduced down to one. Use caution through the intersections.

What an upgrade!

Sidewalk improvements on 54th Ave. are coming along nicely! The new asphalt is great too! The new sidewalk ramps are ADA compliant and improve pedestrian safety, in turn heightening the walkability of Fife.

Safe Street of the Week

The 54th Avenue repaving project is halfway complete! The southbound lanes will be closed for repaving this coming weekend. In the mean time, 54th Ave. E. is our Safe Street of the Week! Obey road crew flaggers and have a safe week!

54th Avenue Closure Notice

54th Avenue E. will be closed from Pacific Hwy E. to SR509 this Friday 9:00 pm through Sunday 3:00 pm for asphalt grinding and sidewalk improvements. Delays are expected, so alternate routes are advised. The same closure will occur again the weekend of September 20th through 22nd for repaving.
