Memorial Day traffic in Washington is among the worst of the year. If you’re traveling I-5, I-90, or US 2 this weekend, expect long delays and dangerous driving conditions. Car accidents and DUI arrests spike over the holiday. If you’ve been injured or arrested, Blanford Law is here to help.


Worst Memorial Day Traffic Corridors in Washington

Every year, drivers face hours of congestion on some of Washington’s busiest highways. The worst Memorial Day traffic occurs in three key areas:

  • I-5 between Lacey and Tacoma – Heavy congestion in both directions, especially Friday afternoon and Monday evening.
  • I-90 between North Bend and Cle Elum – This stretch over Snoqualmie Pass is a major route for those heading east for camping or recreation.
  • US 2 between Skykomish and Stevens Pass – A scenic mountain drive that becomes overloaded with cars, RVs, and trailers.

These highways are known for slowdowns, collisions, and increased enforcement during holiday weekends.


Increased traffic brings a higher risk of accidents and legal trouble, including:

  • Rear-end and multi-car collisions
  • Distracted or impaired driving crashes
  • DUI or reckless driving charges
  • Road rage or aggressive driving incidents
  • Hit-and-run accidents

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, or you’re facing criminal charges, now is the time to talk to a lawyer.
