7:43 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 29

Good morning,

Driver alerts:

• I-5 at 164th Street SW: Several disabled vehicles are blocking the northbound I-5 exit to 164th Street.
• I-405 near Alderwood: Multiple spinouts are blocking the two right lanes of southbound I-405.

Seattle is pretty much untouched by this at this point....
