FINAL 7:56 a.m.: The collision on NB I-5 has cleared and all lanes are now open. You should still expect significant backups as traffic gets moving again. ----- HEADS UP 🚨 Northbound I-5 backup is now 10 miles near Emerald Street after a crash on NB I-5 and SR 516 in Kent. The HOV lane is open, but four lanes remain closed. There is no ETA for reopening. Expect significant delays. Use alternate routes, if possible. | WSDOT

Seventy years ago today, we began operations following the state’s purchase of the ferry system from Puget Sound Navigation Company (Black Ball Line). Thanks to 70 years of well-trained crews, highly skilled staff and a focus on customer service, we've been proud to serve our state for seven decades! In celebration of 70 years of service, our 70th anniversary logo is being installed on each of our 21 vessels. https://wsdot.wa.gov/news/2021/06/01/washington-state-ferries-marks-70-years-service |

Washington State Ferries . . . The MV Spokane is a Jumbo-class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries. The interior is really cool. It has beer. I love riding the ferries. Anacortes to Orcas Island is my favorite route. Get there early. Kingston is cute. Yes, I know how to look up when the next boat is coming. :) . . . #humor #humour #funny #comedy #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washingtonstate | Scott Losse
