Seattle has a state highway running through town along the waterfront that is lifted up in a viaduct. That viaduct closes down tonight and will be demolished.

The closure was set for 10 pm tonight.

My brother and I finished up our absolutely fun and delicious omakase sushi dinner. (It was great fun and tasted great too... )

We were coming home from West Seattle, when in the middle of the bridge we hit the backup of cars trying to get onto the viaduct one last time. It was 9:40 and the parade had begun.



Even now here in my living room I can hear honking and helicopters and partying. Oh now there are fireworks. Wild. But, past my bedtime.

I've been watching the stream from one of the traffic cams, by way of KOMO... they had people walking up the on ramps and frolicking out on the roadway while there were still cars coming. It was actually a bit nerve wracking to watch... because cars were coming up at freeway speeds and having to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting people running around on the road. There have been cars and motorcycles driving the wrong way. It's been insane. This has been handled so badly... it's actually a bit of a miracle no one has been hurt.

So what the heck are they replacing it with, if this is such a major road?

Looks as if people will miss the viaduct ...

I am sad.

Good bye, Viaduct!

I wanted to post the Marx Brothers' "why a duck?" viaduct routine, but NBC has clamped down on the copywrong. :-(
