Traffic wise, this weekend could be tricky:
- State Route 520 will be closed in both directions from 11 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, from Montlake Boulevard in Seattle to 92nd Avenue NE on the Eastside. Travelers should plan to take I-90 or alternate routes around Lake Washington, and expect heavy congestion.
- Southbound I-5 express lanes won’t open until 11 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Northbound express lanes will open by 1:30 p.m. each day.
- Seattle Sounders play Atlanta United FC at 7 p.m. Friday at CenturyLink Field. About 40,000 people are expected to attend.
- Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience at 8 p.m. Friday at KeyArena. About 7,000 people are expected to attend.
- March For Health rally in Westlake Park at 11 a.m. Saturday followed by a march to Seattle Center via 4th Avenue. About 1,000 people are expected to attend.
- Bring Me the Horizon Concert at 7 p.m. Saturday at WaMu Theater. About 7,000 people are expected to attend.
- And the annual Tulip Festival kicks off in Mount Vernon, which means traffic will be heavy along I-5 (even more than usual because northbound I-5 is reduced to two lanes in south Skagit County for a bridge construction project).
