It only took a gaggle of geese to slow things down along northbound I-405 this morning.

The Washington State Department of Transportation reports the geese were herded off the NE 124th Street on-ramp to I-405, but they quickly came back.

The geese returned at 128th Street, traveling across six lanes and then getting a police escort.

The geese were finally cleared to the median around 9:30 a.m.
