WTO conference: Expect traffic snarls

The Third Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO), running from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, will bring thousands of visitors to Seattle and with them will come the possibility of increased traffic snarls.

UW employees who work downtown, and those who must travel to or through downtown should take advantage of mass transit and carpooling whenever possible. Traffic disruptions in the University District are also possible, as the WTO may bring a number of popular events to campus.

Details about events are available at the UW’s WTO Web site, http://www.washington.edu/wto, or at the official Seattle Host Organization Web site, http://www.wtoseattle.org/. Events are subject to change without notice. Check local media for time changes. ¶
