I-5 Bridge Collapse at Mount Vernon, WA
We travelled over this bridge twice today on our way to Eastern Washington. We are now sitting by the fire in Eastern Washington (linked on-line to the world) and are horrified by what we are seeing....

If you are not in a rush, and not in a big vehicle there are interesting alternatives around this area.
When headed to Anacortes or Deception Pass I like to go by way of La Connor. I also go over that way if I want to hug the shore (Chuckanut Dr and Edison) on the way further north.
If headed east on WA20 I prefer to take WA530 through Arlington and Darrington. S Skagit Hwy is another way of going east before crossing the river. However with added traffic on 9 could make its intersection difficult.
I've done WA9 from the border to Snohomish, though even before this the part through Sedro-Wooly was slower than I like.
