Dosewallips Road is a rural minor collector that provides access to residents, businesses, and Olympic National Forest and National Park.

On December 10-11, 2014, high flows in the Dosewallips River partially washed-out the Dosewallips Road at MP 3.15-3.30 reducing the road to a single lane. Jefferson County declared an emergency on December 11, 2014. The emergency repair work consisted of debris removal, temporary traffic control and traffic bypass, placement of heavy loose riprap to rebuild slide areas, repair of a damaged culvert, erosion control, replanting and repaving. Emergency RATA funding in the amount of $93,600.00 was approved by the CRABoard at its April 16, 2015 meeting.

RATA and local funding covered the cost to restore the road to its original condition with better drainage and additional rip-rap reinforcement.
