TUKWILA, Wash. — Why bother calling law enforcement? That’s how one Tukwila neighborhood feels after takeover street racing occurs seemingly every weekend. Drag racing has been ramping up across the region. That includes Tukwila, where last weekend may have been the worst one yet for residents suffering through the noise and potentially dangerous driving conditions. Last Friday, starting at around 10:45 p.m., several vehicles took over an otherwise empty industrial park solely for street racing.

This weekend, massive road closures are scheduled on several major highways around the region, including a huge renovation project taking place on I-5. There’s expected to be construction and corresponding delays, in the midst of what WSDOT is dubbing a “Monster Weekend” for road closures, construction, and clean-up. Some of that construction is already visible along the I-5 corridor in Fife.
