Time for an update on traffic from the high performance homes traffic center. Here's Kimmy. Well, there's been some police activity happening in Thurston county in Olympia this afternoon, and it's no longer blocking slater Kinney road, but it's still blocking the I 5 ramps to and from slater Kenny Rhodes, so plan on using a different exit or on ramp for right now. We're also looking pretty smoothly on I 5 around JBL Lim and coma. No major backups in Seattle, but south on I 5 is going to find some company heading south of north gate off and on towards the U district in north 5. It's just a little crowded near the west Seattle bridge. We're also finding a bit of slowing on the east side around factoria, south on 405 approaching coal creek Parkway We're looking a lot better in rinsing around one 6 7 and four O 5 as we meet up at that interchange, but there's a hazmat response in Seattle's rainier valley that could be at least partially blocking traffic and I'm MLK junior way at south willow street.
