Think of it as the calm before the Mercer storm… the Mercer West stage begins in April, and it’ll get messy around Lower Queen Anne/Uptown (more reason to find local events!). So, breathe easy this weekend and next, and get out and enjoy Spring!

Traffic Impacts:

• Mercer: full closure of Valley Street between Fairview and Westlake Ave N, Friday, March 22 for approximately 3 months
• SPPLUS: Key Arena, Friday, March 22, 6am-2pm (note: we have no idea what this is, and neither does the Seattle.gov rep – but it’ll be 4,000 participants with shuttles to/from SLU, so it’s going in the traffic section)
