Heads up for traffic around the Seattle Center and Mercer St to/from I-5 as there is a combination of events this weekend that’ll make parking and traffic around Lower Queen Anne/Uptown more challenging. Friday will be especially traffic-heavy with Muse at the Key, KCTS’s Golden Apple Awards for Washington State Educators at the Intiman Playhouse, the opening weekend of Roméo et Juliette at PNB, and two events at Seattle Repertory Theatre – the opening of Photograph 51 at Seattle Repertory Theatre and the final weekend of American Buffalo. Plan ahead!
