Seattle tracker · Counting since September 27, 2026
Seattle Tracker
Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Seattle and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.
What the numbers say
A heavier week on the roads, with I-5 coming up most. Power, construction and transit were busier than the week before.
Half of Seattle's road incidents clear within 37 minutes. The longest ran 21 hours.
Measured from 138 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Half of Seattle's outages clear within 2.3 hours. The longest ran 19 hours.
Measured from 37 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Half of Seattle's construction notices clear within 7.1 hours. The longest ran 4 days.
Measured from 67 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Half of Seattle's transit alerts clear within 40 minutes. The longest ran 28 hours.
Measured from 205 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Week by week
Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.
Where Seattle was hit this week
61 percent of road incidents in the last 6 days happened on four roads.
Areas, most affected first
308 placedWhat the map says
Tap a row to see it on the map.Areas are measured from downtown Seattle: within 2 miles is Downtown and South Lake Union, within 7 miles (about the city limits) is that quadrant of Seattle, and beyond that is the metro, from Everett to Tacoma and east past Issaquah. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Route numbers are written the way people say them: 005 is I-5, 099 is SR 99. Council districts and neighborhood districts are both the City of Seattle's own boundaries: the seven City Council districts, and the twenty districts of the city's Neighborhood Map Atlas. Each is named here by the areas it contains. They cover the city only, so anything in Bellevue, Shoreline, Renton or at the airport belongs to neither and is not in this view.
Sources are read every ten minutes, and the counts are rebuilt whenever one of them publishes something new. Last counted Oct 2, 9:57 AM PT.
Only what these sources published. Nothing inferred. Counted once when an agency and a newsroom report the same thing.
