The first roadblock on my way to DGEV: an I-5 bridge collapsed into the Skagit River about 40 minutes south of our house. Rerouting for our trip to SeaTac on Saturday will probably involve leaving 2 hours earlier to take the slower (and likely crowded, especially as its Memorial Day weekend) state rural routes. The images are frankly frightening, considering how often we drive it without a second thought. Happy to hear that there’s no serious injuries nor casualties; looking forward to a latte early in the drive.
