Troopers in Pierce County are dealing with an overturned semi that was loaded with live chickens on NB I-5 near Mounts Road (DuPont area). With hundreds of chickens across the roadway, traffic is getting by in the left lane while the scene is being cleaned up.

When we say slow down, we mean watch for our road crews—not go sloth-spotting! 🦥👀 This morning, our crews removed a giant stuffed sloth “Slothy” from a tree 70 ft up along I-5 in Bellingham. Yes, really. It took a break in the weather, a 125-ft bucket truck & some true skills.

Our cameras & signs are down due to a power outage & the forecast is calling for 12 inches (4 inches per hour). It's going to be a challenging drive today. PLEASE slow down & have traction tires! @wspd6pio, @wspd2pio are enforcing chain requirements - $500 if not chaining up.

There will be a very high number of bus trip cancellations on Friday. Please seek out more frequent routes or make alternate travel plans. Many Metro employees will attend the procession and memorial for bus operator Shawn Yim. kingcountymetro.blog/2025/01…

Winter weather safety tip: learn the warning signs of frostbite and hypothermia and know what steps to take if you think someone may be experiencing one of these conditions. Knowing how to take action can protect a person's health and potentially save their life. 👇✅
