Icy Commute Monday Around Puget Sound
Police and forecasters are warning drivers - especially in south King and Pierce counties - to be cautious during the Monday commute.
Many police departments around Puget Sound are reporting icy and hazardous driving conditions causing scores of car accidents. Rain on Sunday and cold temperatures overnight have contributed to black ice on roadways from Lacey to Woodinville.
There are also a number of school delays around in the area. The Kent, Tahoma, Steilacoom, and Eatonville districts are all on a two-hour delay.
Troopers working rollover and multiple spinouts! Worst areas on SR169 and SR18. No major injuries..Yet.. Keep it slow, It's up to you. CP
