SDOT is warning to drivers to be prepared for heavy congestion around Seattle Center this weekend. Up to 50,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Bumbershoot festival. Plan on heavier traffic than usual between the I-5 Mercer Street ramps and Seattle Center. There are no road closures. Bumbershoot runs from 11am to 11pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
