Worst traffic I can recall, is this what prepandemic life was like? Glad I can take the bus.

There was a pretty bad accident in the i90E tunnel (the first eastbound one) which backed up both i5 and the West Seattle Bridge. I think traffic here was reported to be backed up to the golf course at one point. So hopefully just an aberration.

Ha! That was NOTHING compared to pre-pandemic. Consider yourself lucky that work from home took hold as it did, and continues so after the pandemic. It used to back up Avalon past the golf course, and up to the entry of the WSB from Fauntleroy. Even Public Transit got stuck in the mess on Avalon before all this.
