Weekend Traffic: Husky GameDay

This is the week of football in Seattle! With up to 70,000 spectators expected, the Husky football traffic plan will be implemented for the game on Saturday, diverting general traffic away from the area to allow time for football fans to enter and leave the Husky stadium and parking areas. The customary traffic diversions will be in place in the area from Northeast 75th Street to the Montlake Bridge. See the traffic plan on SDOT’s website. Fans are encouraged to use alternate means of transportation to get to the game such as bus, boat, or carpool. The Husky Gameday website has information regarding alternative transportation and parking. Metro Transit bus shuttle information is on Metro’s website.
