WTF happened with traffic yesterday afternoon.

If only dumbasses could learn how to merge, or stop rubbernecking accidents.

+1 Merging issues cause the slinky(caterpillar) effect. Speed up between exits then slow down because either people are too slow, too cautious, or too busy being assholes and cutting into the front of the line instead of just using the simple zipper effect method.

Cell phones are a problem too. Every time you see someone driving like they're drunk 9/10 times they're texting.

I get pissed when I have to wait for a light for 2 minutes now.
If someone on the east side of the sound want's to do a deal,I tell them anytime but commute time.I won't even go to Kingston at 4pm
Sorry but after finally getting smart enough to move away from that rat race/hole,I get a good laugh every morning I listen to the traffic report

I have found there isn't much of anything worth going across the Narrows Bridge for any more.Or the ferries

MJB, I'm with you. I gave up Seattle / I-5 traffic in 2005 when I retired and moved to Port Angeles. Actually I'm half way between Sequim and P.A..
It's 10 min. either way for what ever I need, no fuss or traffic problems.
I'm still loving living out here and don't miss Greenwood area in the least.

Sometimes when I feel real risky I go to Silverdale just to remind myself what traffic can be like
