Who’s on First? The mix of cars and buses will create a pickle for Mariner baseball games

The next play in the five-year Seattle Squeeze will begin Thursday, when Mariners fans join the major-league congestion on First Avenue South.

“I’m legitimately petrified for baseball season. I don’t feel like they’ve got a good handle on First Avenue traffic right now,” said Colleen Harris, who commutes on the C Line bus to West Seattle.

The C Line is the busiest of 12 former Alaskan Way Viaduct routes that serve nearly 30,000 passengers from West Seattle, White Center or Burien. They moved last month to the Highway 99 tunnel’s new stadium-area interchange when the viaduct closed for good.
