SEATTLE, WA - Closing I-5 for a full weekend sounds like a recipe for disaster - but it doesn't have to be.

Transportation officials are advising Puget Sound residents to prepare for the I-5 northbound closure at the West Seattle Bridge by planning ahead. That includes canceling discretionary trips and using public transportation (tip: if you have a ticket to the Mariners game, you can ride Link light rail for free).

Sound Transit will also run Sounder trains to Seattle for the Sunday Mariners game. You can catch a Sounder in Lakewood beginning at 10:10 a.m. Trains leave from King Street Station in Seattle right after the game ends.
