TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Your Tuesday travels

(Live view from the east-facing WS Bridge camera; see other cameras on the WSB Traffic page)
No traffic alerts as we start today – but there’s early warning of a possible downtown tie-up TOMORROW morning, because of the “We Day” event at KeyArena 9 am-2:30 pm Wednesday.

ADDED 11:55 AM: Another advisory for tomorrow, just in from SDOT:

In addition to potential traffic congestion associated with the We Day Seattle event at the Key Arena from 8:30 – 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, March 27, there will also be a funeral procession for a fallen Seattle Firefighter which could impact traffic. The procession, honoring Firefighter Jess Hernandez, will begin at 12:20 p.m. at the Fourth Avenue and Bell Street Fire Station and move west on Bell to Second Avenue; then south on Second to the Christ Our Hope Catholic Church at Stewart Street. The 500 participants will be escorted by Seattle Police. There will be a rolling slowdown as the procession makes its way to the church where they are expected to arrive at about 12:45 p.m. There will be no street closures, except along the route as the procession moves by. Motorists should allow extra time driving through Belltown during the noon hour or take an alternate route.

    I understand that train conductors have to follow whatever rules about using their horns, but do they really have to lay on them? All night long. Do they really have to be that loud? It’s ridiculous. I live near the Junction and had the windows closed last night and could hear them like they were a block away. How many miles away must they be heard?

    We have been having east winds or offshore which are unusual around.

    The locomotive engineer traditionally blows the horn. I find them soothing at night.

Sorry, comment time is over.
