Traffic Alert | July & August 2025

Traffic Alert

*Last Updated 8/10/25

NORTHBOUND I-5 CONSTRUCTION

There will be a full closure northbound on I-5 from I-90 to NE 45th Street, August 15-18. This planned construction may affect commutes to our Sunday Gathering on August 17. See the map below for details and alternate routes. Let’s look for ways to help each other’s commuting needs so we can meet as a body despite the traffic.

HOW TO NAVIGATE TO DCC COMING FROM THE NORTH

• Your route should not be impacted on the way to church, as the construction only affects northbound lanes.

HOW TO NAVIGATE TO DCC 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 on August 17.
  • Westlake Station is the closest lightrail stop to DCC, and there are bus/monorail routes from Westlake Station.
  • If you decide to bike, stop by the parking garage behind our building on Clay Street, where the attendant can direct you to bike racks or another secure location to store your bike during the gathering.

HOW TO NAVIGATE HOME FROM DCC

• If you are going south, your route should not be impacted.
• If you are going north, see the map below for viable northbound routes.
