Throughout the summer, SDOT has been issuing these roundups toward week’s end, to let everyone know where traffic might be affected around the city on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. We’ve been sharing them because we know you just might want to venture off the peninsula. No West Seattle events this time around (though plenty’s going on, as usual), but read on for the roundup:

This coming weekend, August 14-16, brings another round of
sports events and festivals featuring food and fun. Motorists should
expect heavy traffic surrounding the event sites. The Seattle Department
of Transportation (SDOT) encourages residents and visitors to consider
shrinking their carbon footprints by trying other modes of travel such
as walking, cycling or taking the bus.
