The city and WSDOT apparently expected a calm, orderly shutdown to the Alaskan Way Viaduct at 10 p.m. Friday night.
What happened instead was a big, popular, slow-speed cruisin’ scene. Thousands came to pay their last respects to the doomed scenic waterfront roadway. There were cars, trucks, at least one semi, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
It was after 10:25 when crews finally put up the barricades at the Viaduct’s northern on-ramps. The northbound cruise continued for more than another hour.
The official last civilian vehicle on the Viaduct was a stalled car, that had to be pushed by a cop car.

Last Friday, I suggested the Women’s March 2.0 might not be as humungous as it was last year.
I was wrong.
Another estimated 100,000 women, children, and men strode through downtown Seattle, reasserting their opposition to the hyper-reactionary DC regime and demanding a better future.
What’s next: continuing to resist and fight back, in measures large and small. The biggest such moment will be at the midterm elections, a little more than nine months from now.
And you already know what miracles women can create within THAT timeframe.
