Weekend Traffic: Bad News In Bellevue
Listen up, Eastsiders. We know the POTUS put a cramp in your travels last weekend, but it likely won't hold a candle to the pain of the northbound I-405 closure that's coming your way. There are also street-closing events in Issaquah and Kirkland. So read up and plan ahead.

Home sales dipped, Greenlake is a sketchy place to jog, I-405 closing for days, and the future is still murky for Yesler Terrace.
Smart, But Still Illegal Commute-Saver Strategy
If you've ever suffered through traffic on Seattle's major freeways, then you've already thought about it. Why not just buy a big doll, set it up in the passenger's seat, and use the HOV lane? It would be perfect! You wouldn't have to actually deal with another person (read: listen to whatever radio station you want), but your commute would be cut by at least ten minutes just as if you had offered to drive your neighbor into town. Every once in awhile, someone implements this genius strategy and inevitably gets caught, like this smart guy did on I-405 yesterday. We absolutely do not blame him for trying.
