Surviving the Seattle viaduct closure: KING 5 can help

Here’s how KING 5 will help you get through what the city is calling the “Seattle Squeeze.”


The Seattle area could battle some of the worst traffic it’s ever seen during the about three-week period after the Alaskan Way Viaduct is closed, and the SR 99 tunnel is opened.

Here’s how KING 5 will help you get through what the city is calling the “Seattle Squeeze.”

KING 5 Mornings will air beginning at 4 a.m. throughout the closure. Our crews will be live across the region showing current commute conditions – for cars, buses, and trains.
