As discussed during the dispatch call, transit control communications indicate that a parade or protest was proceeding westbound on Madison Avenue in downtown Seattle, causing temporary traffic blockages and rolling slowdowns. Buses were held or rerouted near intersections such as Broadway, Union, and Boren until the remainder of the group cleared the area. The situation appears to have involved slow-moving traffic management and temporary road closures but no reported emergencies.
