Starting from 2025, lane reductions on Interstate 5 in Seattle are anticipated to span two years, aiming to significantly enhance traffic flow and overall travel experience. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is actively engaging the public through an online open house, designed to provide crucial information and collect community feedback regarding the upcoming work. This initiative addresses long-standing congestion issues in one of Seattle's busiest areas, highlighting the importance of infrastructure improvements. Residents and travelers are encouraged to prepare for the changes and understand how they might affect their daily commutes. The project not only aims to improve safety but also to ensure a smoother ride for thousands of commuters who rely on this vital route.

The online open house is an essential platform for community interaction, fostering transparency and responsiveness in public planning. As the project unfolds, ongoing updates and community involvement will be critical to its success. Engaging the public in this manner allows for a more informed and supportive transition during the construction period.
