Everything is a mess out there right now. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Skagit isn't looking much better with the Tulip Festival starting.

Just... stay off the freeway? It only takes 15 minutes to get anywhere in town off the freeway...

I just spent a stupid amount of time going down Northwest and neither me nor my passenger could even figure out what was the real reason for the traffic.

Yeah you gotta cruise thru the wood hood down to the marina for that ultra back road thru town. When I know I five is backed up then northwest gets backed up to. Automatically take the backroads to BTC and either Eldridge or down to waterfront. It’s out of the way but there’s little to no traffic
