Seattle, Washington – Rain will return to the Puget Sound region Wednesday morning, marking the start of a multi-day stretch of on-and-off showers that could complicate travel and outdoor plans across Seattle.

Drivers along I-5, I-90, and U.S. 99 should prepare for slick pavement, longer commutes, and reduced visibility during the morning rush.
