‘Plan ahead, be ready’: Friday’s UW-Stanford rush-hour kickoff to be traffic challenge

A flood of purple and gold will make its way to Husky Stadium Friday, and the 6 p.m. football kickoff is perfectly timed to jam up your afternoon commute however you get around.

The 10th-ranked Huskies take on No. 7 Stanford, and more than 70,000 people are expected to attend the first matchup of top 10 teams at Husky Stadium in 19 years.

And don’t forget about the Mariners, still alive in the wild-card race, who play at 7:10 p.m. Friday.

“Plan ahead. Be ready for delays,” said Scott Gutierrez, a spokesman for King County Metro.
