This bill is a memorial petitioning 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." The proposal honors 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, including his leadership on various committees and projects, such as the Puget Sound Gateway Project and the Interstate 5 and Port of Tacoma Road Interchange.

The memorial highlights Blount's dedication to public service, his ability to navigate complex transportation issues, and his role in advancing major infrastructure projects in the region. The support for naming the overpass after him comes from various stakeholders, including the City of Fife, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, among others. The bill concludes with a request for the immediate transmission of the memorial to relevant transportation authorities.
