As of a little past 4PM it is heavy NB I-5 at 112th Park and Ride.

On Ramps near the Boeing Freeway have been restricted by WSP

Traffic on northbound I-5 starts to crawl at the 112th Park and Ride and continues slow into Everett all the way to the Snohomish River Bridge as of this check. Ramps have been closed by Washington State Patrol to prevent people from driving the wrong way to avoid the freeway slowdown.

Northbound Broadway begins to be bumper-to-bumper starting about 75th street and Beverly Boulevard also slows heavily at 75th all the way to 41st street.

Motorists using Commercial Avenue into Lowell to avoid the Broadway backup are not finding that any faster.
