Seattle Transit
Right now in Seattle
I-5 closed — Monday, June 22, until the morning of Tuesday, June 23 - The eastbound SR 520 off-ramp to Montlake Blvd. will close for construction beginning at 10 p.m. on June 22 until 6 a.m. on June 23. All traffic from I-5 entering eastbound SR 520 during these hours will pay the SR 520 Bridge Toll with this ramp closed. Those who do not want to pay the toll or who need access to Montlake Blvd. from I-5 must use alternate routes..
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?
GreatYes — clear and 65°F, AQI 44.
Days like today are why people put up with February in Seattle. Burke-Gilman to Marymoor for the long version, the Locks loop for an hour, or the West Seattle bike route for the hill + view combo.
Why: 65°F clear · AQI 44
