Dead Man's Curve

The William McCleary Road was named after Henry McCleary's brother. Over the years that stretch of road has been renamed simply "McCleary Road" but on this blog I'll refer to it as I have always known it.


The two lane road was formerly State Highway 410 and served as the main route between Olympia and Aberdeen until State Route 9 (later renamed State Route 8) was completed in the late 1950s-early 1960s. In the old 410 days, this pictured part of the road was called "Dead Man's Curve" and was regularly decorated with white crosses.
