Baseball fans pass first home-game test

Posted by blog

Mariners fans seem to have planned ahead and mostly avoided the traffic woes Monday.

Traffic-monitoring crews observed far fewer cars on highways and city streets than is typical for a Mariners game, Department of Transportation spokeswoman Meghan Soptich said.

"From what I've heard it's been really smooth," she said.

The Mariners had an advisory about the traffic on their Web site and the Department of Transportation warned people as well, Soptich said.

"Looks like it was far lighter than usual for a Mariners game," she said. "People have been listening."
