Seattle's Two Seasons: Rainy And Construction

After the brunt of the winter passes us by, WSDOT informs us that we can look forward to nine months of construction and road repair on all the major highways. Yippee! It's an urban rite of spring to sit in traffic. We wish they hadn't dropped this particular bomb on us just yet, when we're still enjoying how our tires skate on the icy Seattlest HQ parking lot, but at least it won't come as a surprise in February. Not that road construction in Seattle is ever really that much of a surprise.
