JK. THE PAINT MAP IS BACK.

Jimothy took over painting duties this week with two goals in mind: show his BFF Greg that he’s a work of art and show the rest of us what we’re in for during a busy Puget Sound weekend.

Now, let’s get into the finer details of Jimothy’s map-sterpiece.

A few things have changed since Greg gave you the play-by-play: the planned SB I-405 lane reductions in Bothell and the EB I-90 weekend lane/ramp closures in Bellevue have been CANCELED.

-The I-5 express lanes in Seattle will CLOSE from 11p Fri. to 5a Mon. for drainage work underneath the Ship Canal Bridge. The two right lanes of NB I-5 across the bridge also remain closed around-the-clock, so expect NB travel to and through Seattle to be challenging.

-The EB SR 520 off-ramp to Montlake Blvd will CLOSE from 4:30p Sat., Sept. 12 through 8a Sat., Sept. 19. Crews will use the temporary off-ramp to stage equipment as they begin removing portions of the old off-ramp that closed in June. Husky fans: the ramp won’t close until after the main arrival period for Saturday’s game.

-One lane of the NB SR 99 1st Avenue S Bridge will CLOSE Saturday and Sunday. The right lane will close from 5a to 6p Sat., followed by the left/HOV lane from 5a to 6p Sun. for bridge maintenance.

-NE 85th Street in Kirkland and all I-405 ramps at the interchange will CLOSE from 10p Fri. to 5a Mon. NE 85th Street will be closed between 6th Street and 120th Avenue NE for electrical work and paving prep. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled.

-WB I-90 will CLOSE overnight from Mercer Island to Seattle between Island Crest Way and the west portal of the Mount Baker Tunnel from 10p Fri. to 6a Sat. for maintenance. The WB on-ramps from 76th Ave SE/N Mercer Way, Island Crest Way and W Mercer Way will also close.

Jimothy may have packed the canvas, but don’t let the masterpiece overwhelm you. The actual impacts are spread throughout the weekend. Plan ahead, check real-time conditions before you go and give yourself extra time.

And if you don’t feel like a work of art today, find someone who looks at you the way Jimothy looks at Greg. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. 👀✨

School is back in session! Our traffic team has been busy turning on school‑zone beacons and flashing lights to help keep students safe as they return to class. School‑zone beacons typically activate 30 minutes before school starts, stay for 5 minutes after school begins, then activate again for 30 minutes once school ends.

As you’re driving, please slow down, stay alert, and watch closely for children, families, and educators walking, biking, and crossing the road!

Images are from flashing beacons near Mount View Elementary School in White Center.

❤️🎶🎤 Dolly Parton never forgot where she came from, including the tiny Tennessee cabin where she grew up. She loved that childhood home enough to buy it back and restore it, right down to the squeaky screen door.

There’s something pretty special about that. A home doesn’t have to be big, expensive, or perfect to become priceless. Sometimes it’s the memories inside that make it worth holding onto.

With Dolly’s recent passing, this little real estate fact feels like an especially fitting reminder of the woman behind all that rhinestone. ~❤️TPG
