A large tree was blocking two right lanes on I-405 north in Tukwila, the Washington State Department of Transportation reported via X. However, all lanes are now back open.

The fallen tree was just south of State Route 181 at milepost 0.

Incident response teams were at the scene.

“Expect delays and use caution in this area,” WSDOT wrote.
