Hello Seattle families,

Beginning tomorrow evening, there will be some closures that may make coming and going to Seattle Center difficult.

With lots of events happening on campus Saturday and Sunday, Winterfest, Seattle Christmas Market, The Nutcracker, Urban Craft Uprising, and The 1975 (to name a few), please allow enough time when commuting to campus.

  • The SR 99 tunnel will close in both directions from 10:00pm Friday, Dec. 1st through 6:00am Saturday, Dec. 2nd.
  • SR 520 will be closed from 11:00pm Friday, Dec. 1st until 5:00am Monday, Dec. 4th. The SR 520 trail is also closed across the lake.
  • Northbound I-5 in Seattle will close on weeknights for three weeks starting Monday, Dec. 4th. Work will happen nightly from 11:59 p.m. through 4 a.m. During the overnight closures, travelers using northbound I-5 can access downtown by using exits near the I-90 interchange, while those continuing north of downtown should use the express lanes.

Make sure to plan your trip carefully and consider alternate means of travel!
