Seattle brief

Daily Brief

For Jul 13, 4:34 AM. The 90-second daily read. Live snapshot at Now; full alerts at Alerts.

Monday, July 13. Clear, low 50s, the city is moving normally. I-5 has an active alert.

3 things worth knowing today

The express lanes are northbound-only 24 hours a day through the end of 2026 due to lane reductions for construction on the northbound I-5 Ship Canal Bridge.

Let's Play SEA'26 Visual Arts at Seattle Center: Sand Sculpture Installation by Jamie Louks, at Seattle Center (Festivals), Mon, Jul 13 · All day, expect access limits, reroutes, or crowd pressure around the venue area.

Gas: $5.26 — down 6¢ this week. Tank can wait.

Tomorrow

Tuesday is the canonical baseline weekday — normal commute, no event-scene overlay, restaurants at typical weeknight pace.

Did you notice

Mount Rainier is 53 miles south and visible from most of the central city when it's clear. The viewing angles in Seattle vernacular: 'the mountain is out' means clear enough to see it.

Calm — The express lanes are northbound-only 24 hours a day through the end of 2026… — minor slowdown.

Updated Jul 13, 4:34 AM. See Now for the live snapshot, Alerts for the full triage.
