The day after Christmas is a busy time for shoppers returning unwanted gifts and scooping up deals on holiday items for next year.įerry travelers can skirt what are expected to be long waits by walking on instead of driving. The worst congestion in the Seattle area is expected to be through Tacoma between 6 and 8 p.m. Edmonds terminal address is SR-104 & Dayton St., Edmonds, WA 98020. Westbound traffic on the highway is projected to rise similarly, with a spike Friday afternoon and another from morning to evening Monday. The Edmonds terminal is approximately an hour’s drive from SeaTac Airport.
Eastbound traffic could spike Friday morning and afternoon and continue to be above normal through Christmas Day and Monday, Dec. 2 between Skykomish and Stevens Pass is expected to see higher-than-average eastbound traffic starting Dec.

“Our crews take great pride in their work and do everything in their power to keep roads open - but we need drivers and truckers to do their part and slow down.” “It takes just one reckless person driving too fast, under the influence or not following chain requirements to close a mountain pass for all of us,” WSDOT winter program manager Jim Andersen wrote in a press release. That means having an emergency kit with food, water and warm clothes, as well as chains or studded tires in case they’re required on the passes.
All winter drivers, and especially those headed across the mountains, should be prepared for bad weather, state transportation staff said.
