As the last major holiday weekend of the summer, Labor Day is filled with folks trying to soak up the sun. As a result, traffic is a bit... well, you know.
If your plans include travel, here are a few things to keep in mind to your trip go more smoothly.
- According to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) predictions, traffic will be at its worst between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. this weekend along all major highways and interstates.
- WSDOT has a real-time map that shows you the conditions of the roads.
- Sea-Tac Airport expects to be ~18% busier than it was on Labor Day in 2022. Make sure you’re prepared.
- Some Washington State Ferry routes are running with fewer boats, so expect delays during peak times as ~400,000 people are expected to make crossings.
- Most importantly, stay safe.
