Inslee’s the Governor. I’ve driven this stretch of road a lot and no fatalities on the road itself is a miracle.

My first thought when hearing this on the radio news a while ago was “I wonder if it was ANTIFA types, who have been blockading and sabotaging railroad tracks in this area for months.”

That is going to be my working theory until proven otherwise.

Inslee is the brain-dead libtard Governor of Washington.

Thanks. Governor declaring a state of emergency doesn’t really get my attention. Especially a liberal governor. They love attention

@wspd1pio anticipates all I-5 SB lanes at Mounts Rd. will be shut down for entire day. Please follow @wsdot_tacoma for traffic alternates.

Really hard to access Posobiec’s Twitter feed. The page will not load all of a sudden.

Anarchists in the northwest have apparently been bragging for weeks about sabotaging train tracks in Washington state.

I can’t get to his page now to find the anarchist link he archived. The original link is gone, but he saved a copy.

I’ll say it again, Western Washington has been invaded by homeless drug addicted bums. This is one of the most used routes by these people. If this is vandalism, then it’s by these walking dead bums that are plaguing the i5 corridor.

This is one of the worst places for this to happen, as far as traffic re routing goes. This is a logistical nightmare now.

Getting around this is not easy, you have to drive a long ways to the east to make it around. And those small highways are already clogged with long distance commuters to the cities.

I was curious to see what the state of emergency encompassed. Can’t find anything specific, just Inslee bleating about the situation being an emergency. Well, duh, gov. If there’s been some kind of declaration, haven’t found it yet. Or this could be more bad reportage by reporters who can’t tell the difference.

Considering the proximity to that big military base, I’m doubting a bum did this.

Did you know there are now two bridges there? Tool bridges of course.

I’m certain that this is a telephoto shot so the perspective is bunched but I’m also certain that a train traveling at 80 MPH would not survive this curve. 18 MPH, it would likely be fine.

She my post above about the photographer. He said an official told him they were about to cross I5 and he said it went by fast.
