Traffic
Lots of traffic quickly backed up due to an accident on the I-5 Skagit River Bridge that closed traffic in both directions. At the time of the accident, the only way to get from Burlington to Mount Vernon was the Burlington Blvd./Riverside Dr. bridge. The Division Street bridge between downtown Mount Vernon and Westside Mount Vernon was closed due to the flooding. Highway 20 was closed east of Burlington and Hwy. 9 was closed north of Clear Lake. Lots of patience required. Thankfully, only minor injuries.
