Traffic Alert

*Last Updated 7/18/25

NORTHBOUND I-5 CONSTRUCTION

There will be a full closure northbound on I-5 from I-90 to NE 45th Street, July 18-21. This is one of the planned construction periods for I-5 across Ship Canal Bridge this summer. See the map below for the dates and the impacted route. Let’s look for ways to help each other’s commuting needs so we can meet weekly as a body despite the traffic.

HOW TO NAVIGATE COMING FROM THE NORTH:

• Your route should not be impacted on the way to church, as the construction only affects northbound lanes.
• On your way home, instead of I-5: use 99 or a main northbound road like 15th Ave NW or Eastlake Ave E.

HOW TO NAVIGATE COMING FROM THE SOUTH:

• Coming from I-5: Take exit 164A toward James St. Turn left on James. Then turn right on Yesler and right onto 1st Ave and go all the way to our building.

RECOMMENDED:

• As many members have suggested, public transportation via the Link Light Rail or biking may help your commute during this I-5 Construction.
  • Westlake Station is the closest lightrail stop to DCC, and there are bus/monorail routes from Westlake.
  • If you bike, there are ample spots to park your bike right inside the vestibule through the Main Entrance when you arrive.
