Seattle's I-5 construction headache is ending early — for now
Seattleites are about to get a break from the monthslong lane closures that have been snarling Interstate 5. Why it matters: Crews plan to remove the work zone over the Ship Canal Bridge this weekend, restoring northbound I-5 from two lanes to four and easing a major traffic choke point through the city. Driving the news: Northbound I-5 through Seattle is expected to close completely from 11:59pm Friday to 5am Monday as crews clear out barriers, re-stripe lanes and work to fully reopen the freeway. Adjacent I-5 ramps will close as early as 9pm Friday. The I-5 express lanes are also set to resume normal operations starting Monday, after running only northbound during construction. Typically, those lanes alternate between running northbound and southbound. Caveat: Workers need several hours of dry weather to reopen the freeway — so if there's too much rain this weekend, the closures may continue another week or so. Plus, get ready, because more lane closures are scheduled next year for restoration work. The big picture: I-5's Ship Canal Bridge over the Lake Washington Ship Canal hasn't undergone major preservation work for 40 years, state transportation officials say. Necessary repairs have included resurfacing the upper bridge deck,

Mill Creek Annexation Could Add 11,700 Residents, but One Leader Smells a 'Sugar High'
Mill Creek is moving toward its biggest expansion in nearly two decades, after the City Council voted 6-0, with one abstention, to authorize staff to begin working with Snohomish County and the state Boundary Review Board on a plan that could add an estimated 11,700 residents south of the city. If it goes through, the annexation would be Mill Creek's first since 2008 and could push the city's population from about 21,000 to roughly 32,000.

New signs coming to Greenwood Healthy Streets
This fall, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will be working on the Healthy Street signage along 1st Ave NW, N 100th St, and Fremont Ave N in Greenwood. Healthy Streets started during the pandemic in 2020 as a way to get people outside more. They have several safety features like easier crossings at busy streets, speed humps to slow down drivers, and pavement markings. When it first established the Healthy Streets, SDOT installed fixtures like concrete block bases and painted curb bulbs to signal the start of a Healthy Street—the upcoming project will secure the sign bases to the streets.
