Every year since 2020, the number of collisions on Washington highways in work zones has been rising. Between 2020 and 2024, it rose nearly 40%, from 1,149 to 1,607, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. One of the three main contributing factors to these crashes is speed. Speeding through these areas threatens drivers, their passengers and road construction workers trying to do their jobs.

On a gray, early spring morning, I drove to Steilacoom, Washington, to catch the ferry to Anderson Island. I boarded alongside the line of other cars and after parking, stepped out onto the deck of the boat. The ferry pushed off from the dock and rocked a little in the Puget Sound before steadying. I took this journey to the real Anderson Island to see from the water what inspired Northwest author Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum’s new novel, “Elita,” which was published earlier this year.
