This bill is a memorial resolution honoring the late Russell Gilbert Blount, who served as the Public Works Director, Deputy City Manager, and Interim City Manager for the City of Fife for 20 years until his passing in 2022. Blount was recognized for his significant contributions to transportation infrastructure in Washington State, particularly in Pierce County and the City of Fife. He played a vital role in various transportation projects, including the Puget Sound Gateway Project and the Tacoma Dome Link Extension, and was instrumental in advancing the Interstate 5 and Port of Tacoma Road Interchange project.

The resolution calls for the Washington State Transportation Commission to name the future overpass at 34th Avenue East in the City of Fife as the "Russ Blount Memorial Bridge" in recognition of his leadership and dedication to public service in transportation. The memorial is supported by various local entities, including the City of Fife, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, among others. The resolution concludes with a request for copies to be sent to relevant transportation authorities.
