ROAD ALERT SPOTLIGHT

High winds, downed trees creating
hazardous afternoon commute

The King County Road Services Division is advising motorists that high winds and downed trees are prompting road closures in many parts of the county this afternoon.  While some roads are being closed temporarily until crews can remove tree limbs and other debris, at least four roads will likely be closed for an extended period due to downed trees and power lines.

Motorists traveling during the afternoon commute should be aware of not only wind, but standing water - both contributing to hazardous driving conditions.
