Heads up for the weekend if plan on going anywhere.
It's the first weekend and Paint map of the summer! Plenty of events across the state and plenty of work zones to drive slowly, carefully and calmly through. Here’s some of the highlights:
• It’s Pride weekend in Seattle! Lots of events making heading in and out of Downtown, Capitol Hill and Seattle Center challenging. Consider transit, cycling, walking, carpooling, etc. if you can.
• SR 9 is fully closed between Market Place and Lundeen Park Way in Lake Stevens through 5 a.m. Wednesday, June 28. A signed detour is in place.
• 148th Avenue NE and the ramps to/from it at eastbound SR 520 in the Overlake Village neighborhood in Bellevue and Redmond will be closed from 11 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.
• Southbound SR 99/599 will be closed at Tukwila International Blvd from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday. A signed detour will be in place.
• Lots of people will be headed across I-90 to Hoopfest in Spokane. Give yourself extra travel time to get there and get back, as there is ongoing roadwork along westbound I-90 between High Point and Issaquah, both directions of SR 18 near Tiger Mountain, and remember to plan for heavy westbound I-90 traffic on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. due to typical summer weekend travel.
