Steer clear of Lake Washington this weekend. From WSDOT who operates the Montlake Bridge:
The Montlake Bridge (State Route 513) will be closed to all traffic from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the closure, nearly 900 boats will parade through the Montlake Cut as part of the opening ceremonies that signal the opening day of boating season.
During the closure crews will:
- close the Montlake Bridge to all vehicle and foot traffic from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- close the westbound SR 520 ramp to Montlake Boulevard from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- close the left turn lane of the eastbound SR 520 ramp to northbound Montlake Boulevard from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The back-ups have started already as the bridge is being opened for the increased boat traffic. Hopefully, these guys are having fun.
We’ve got 3 mariners games, may day, the pot march and the march of dimes march (march of dimes march?)
Should be fun! I’m going to get a case of beer and my walking shoes and just mosey around locally, I think
Yeah, good idea. All Mexican beer is on sale everywhere. The piles of beer in all stores around cinco de mayo is one of my favorite goofy annual rituals of commerce.
I think mine is helping the economy by buying and drinking said beer
