CG Base Seattle Traffic Update

 

New ramp to the Base for those using I-5, courtesy RADM Bert Kinghorn:

 

1. Get off I-5 at the Edgar Martinez (4th Avenue S.) exit. 

2.  Go west until you come to the very last stop light which is just before the viaduct.

3.  Against all your intuitive urges, turn RIGHT away from the CG Base which is right in front of you and onto a ramp that seems to lead to downtown Seattle. 

4.  The ramp will bend around toward Elliot Bay and finally dump you out on grade right in front of the Base. 

5.  Turn right into the base as normal when approaching from the North.
