A lot can happen in three decades. Cities change and neighbors come and go. But Fife resident Warren Walsborn and his family stayed.  “Probably about three or four years after I was here, then I started getting notices that we’re going to take your property,” Walsborn said.  Twenty-five years ago, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was acquiring land for a new expressway project connecting I-5 to the Port of Tacoma. They initially wanted Walsborn’s land, but he did not sell.  He’s now one of the only houses still standing on his street.  “It’s been a rollercoaster of, 'Do I have to move? Can I stay? Where do I go?'" Walsborn said. The new expressway will be close to his home, but he can stay put. Construction began this summer to alleviate the semi-congestion butting up to his backyard in Fife. Truck traffic has been a problem for years.
