Thanks Obama


His motorcade will stay at the Westin for a Democratic National Committee roundtable just before 4:30 p.m. That was originally expected to be at a private residence in Shoreline.

The President has a fundraiser for Senator Patty Murray at the Westin Hotel Friday evening. His speech is scheduled to start at 6:05 p.m.


Here is information released by Seattle police Thursday morning regarding President Obama's visit:

Intermittent closures of freeways and arterials and downtown streets are to be expected. The flow of buses and cars through downtown will be disrupted during these closures.


Travelers should expect delays and are advised to plan ahead. Buses on surface streets in the north part of downtown will be rerouted; check with King County Metro Alert for routes impacted. The South Lake Union Streetcar will continue to operate, but the stop at the Westlake Hub at McGraw Square will remain closed. The downtown transit tunnel is expected to remain open and operating.

Parking on Downtown streets will be restricted as needed.


Per the United States Secret Service, vehicle access to the area bounded by Olive St., 7th Ave, Lenora St and 4th Ave will be limited to 5th Avenue between Lenora and Virginia and on Stewart between 6th and 7th Avenue. Commuters are encouraged to use transit or park outside the area and walk in. People entering the area should expect delays and additional security screening.

I left home 10 minutes earlier than usual and arrived to work 10 minutes LATER than usual and hit NO TRAINS and no accidents and NO APPARENT REASON why EVERYONE and their brother got off at MLK to take surface routes when I5 was clear as a bell! :@
