All lanes are clear after an earlier car fire on southbound I-5 are blocked just before S. 188th near Southcenter.

WSDOT recommends taking SR 99 or SR 509 as an alternate route. Use SR 167 and SR 181 if you’re going from the Eastside to South King County.

‼️ALL CLEAR on southbound I-5 near Southcenter. Thanks to all crews for clearly this as safely & quickly as they could.

Backups are still pretty bad. If you can, give the backups some time to dissipate before you hit the road. pic.twitter.com/joRSdeFKOR
