(Last) week Seattle experienced two major traffic tie-ups that have made traffic a real mess.

First, on Tuesday, we had a dump truck turn over on southbound 99 that closed the viaduct for several hours. This forced all the thousands of cars that use the viaduct to the surface streets in downtown Seattle. Imagine what traffic would have been if there had been a baseball, football or basketball game in town. We just got a taste of what traffic will be like when they take down the viaduct to rebuild it.

On Wednesday, there was an accident on interstate 90 that closed it for several hours.

Gee, if we only had a monorail we could have been home enjoying dinner with our families rather than stuck in traffic.
