    Does anyone know why Aurora tunnel is closed this morning?

    Whoa, SR-99 tunnel is closed, at least northbound, as of 7:50. Good day to WFH or bike if possible!The traffic camera near the southern portal into it shows the digital sign saying it’s closed to traffic and all must exit! Google maps will also not route you on it right now. Wonder what happened.

    99N tunnel is closed

    Looks like 99 tunnel is closed in both directions due to power outage. The commute is gridlocked…

    I’m on a C headed downtown and our driver just announced we are being rerouted due to a major power outage from Spokane to downtown Seattle, affecting (among other things) the tunnel and causing it to be closed.
