sad indeed - Might we also discuss why people are able to get on the freeway south of the closure even though traffic to the north is not moving? WA State Transportation has some curious ideas about what is best for the traveling public. I've been told there would be too much overflow on local streets, but really? cars idling on the freeway for hours vs. moving slowly through arterials?
