Are you one of the unlucky commuters who crawls from Everett to Seattle every day?

There’s no way to really predict how the permanent closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct will affect your commute starting Jan. 11. KIRO Radio’s Chris Sullivan offers up a few suggestions to try to help ease your concerns.

Bottom line: There’s no way to know for sure what the future holds until the week of January 14.
