WSDOT: Fireworks, Festivities & Football

From WSDOT

There are many special events happening in and around the Seattle area this weekend as we ring in the New Year. 

First, the Seahawks are in town for their final home game of the year… and it’s a big one. A win against the Arizona Cardinals (and an Atlanta Falcons loss) means the Hawks are in the playoffs, so you can bet that the 12s are going to show out for this one. Kickoff is at 1:25pm on Sunday.

Also, make sure you plan ahead for congestion on highways entering Seattle on Sunday night as thousands head towards the Space Needle to watch the annual fireworks show. If you plan on going, make sure you leave yourself extra time to get there. And if you happen to just be driving through the city when the clock strikes midnight, please don't stop on the shoulders or ramps to watch the show, it's unsafe.

Out with the old, and in with the new – here’s to 2018! Happy New Year!
