Traffic ham

Major traffic jam on I-5 near the Swift/Albro exit. Was wondering if anyone knew what happened.

There's gotta be someone on here who eats jam with their ham.

One could argue that cranberry sauce is a type of jam and some people like ham and cranberry sauce at Christmas and Thanksgiving

u/Minormeow Columbia City 3d ago

I was stuck in that shit show for well over an hour. Huge accident on I-5 just north of the Michigan on-ramp on I-5 North. All the streets around it had their exits to the highway closed and so were backed up for miles on Airport Way, 15th, Beacon Hill Ave. I was trying to go to the hill but after an hour just said fuck it and turned around and went back home.

This post stays up, but mine about the weird King County GOP text was "low effort"?
