Traffic's creeping back and some transit to collect fares again
Want a small sign that things are creeping toward normalcy again?
Crawling traffic is back, kind of.
Recently weekday afternoon backups formed on northbound I-5 in Everett near the ramp to U.S. 2.
With Boeing back in business and other industries resuming operations, there are more people commuting to work. That stretch of I-5 had an average of 183,000 vehicles every day in 2018, according to Washington State Department of Transportation data.
Remember that infuriating experience? Bumper to brake light, briefly jolting up to 25 mph on a 60 mph freeway, then braking at a flood of red, just trying to get home, five days a week.
Certainly were not back to that kind of soul-crushing deluge yet.
