What are you doing with your spring weekends? Me, I thought getting my income tax form filed would be a good enough goal. But WSDOT, who just turned 100 this month, is:

• Closing the Alaskan Way Viaduct for “spring cleaning” this weekend (It’ll re-open on Sunday in time to be flooded with basketball game traffic.)
• Rehabilitating pavement on I-5 between Olive Way and James Street, and also over by Dearborn Street every weekend in April.
• Putting out a book. You know, it’s only through reading their timeline that you can get a scope of how much this state has grown, and how many bridges have collapsed in the meantime. Ahh, good times, good times.

This might be a good time to remind you about their 5-1-1 traffic number, now with new touch button options!
