    There were terrible backups on W Marginal today, continuing to the approach to 1st S Bridge.  Anyone know why?  Multiple bridge openings?

      One person emailed us at a time when I cross-checked and indeed the bridge was open for marine traffic. About that same time there was a crash at Olson/Myers, though that wasn’t affecting the person who emailed us.

    Mike. There was a semi crash on northbound I5 at the S. end of Boeing field Around 9 ish. WSP closed I5 and routed ALL traffic off to 599 which ends at the 1st s bridge. Also at about the same time there was an accident in the carpool lane on the bridge.  That was the mess. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
