Seattle Transit
Right now in Seattle
I-5 closed — The Harvard Avenue on-ramp to northbound I-5 is closed until mid-October for the Revive I-5 Ship Canal Bridge construction project..
99 helps but fills fast. Surface streets clog within an hour of any I-5 closure. If your trip can wait, wait. If it can't, take Link or 99 and add real buffer.
Link is the calm path

Recent network changes
The 2 Line and Judkins Park Station
Sound Transit's 2 Line now runs across I-90 from Redmond and Bellevue to downtown Seattle, meeting the 1 Line at International District / Chinatown Station. Transfers are cross-platform. The line added Judkins Park Station on the western edge of the Mount Baker / Central District neighborhoods — the first light rail station east of I-5 in inner Seattle. For Eastside-to-SoDo trips on match days or game days, the 2 Line into ID/Chinatown plus a one-stop 1 Line ride south is now the calmest option.
Bike today?
YesYes — conditions are fine.
Mild day, AQI in normal range. Burke-Gilman is the call for Cascade-trail riders; Lake Washington Blvd for the views. The SODO Trail is reliable through the city.
Why: 65°F
