Brush fire briefly closes I-5 offramp at Mountlake Terrace
Slowdowns remain because of smoke
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE -- A brush fire earlier this evening closed the offramp from northbound I-5 to 220th Street SW and blocked the right lane of the freeway.
Fire crews were called after 5 p.m. and knocked down the fire quickly, state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Sandy Lam said.
“There is a lot of smoke, so many people are slowing down,” she said.
The fire was burning in the area between the offramp and the freeway.
