All lanes have been reopened following an accident that blocked northbound I-5 in SeaTac, at South 188th Street.
“If you’re in Federal Way, get off the freeway,” said KIRO Radio traffic reporter Kimi Kline.
At one point an eight-mile back-up was reported.
The Washington State Department of Transportation had recommended drivers on I-5 exit at SR 516 and said to avoid the area by using SR 18, SR 99 or SR 167. “Anything but NB 5. Backup growing absurdly fast,” a WSDOT spokesperson said via Twitter.
