Drive-up COVID testing line clogs north Everett neighborhood

EVERETT — City officials want to relocate a free COVID testing site clogging a neighborhood street with bumper-to-bumper traffic.

On Thursday, cars stretched several blocks north of 2606 Wetmore Ave., boxing in driveways and street parking. Some people pulled into the unmarked standstill, unaware it was a testing line.

Site manager Ali Blackwell said law enforcement already rerouted the line last month because it was obstructing a route ambulances use to get to the nearby hospital.

“The week before Christmas it got insane,” she said, estimating that the line stretched several miles at its peak.

1. We had no trouble.

Got tested New Year's eve at a site in the Western Addition neighborhood. Walked up, waited 15 minutes in line and we were on our merry way. Why does everything always seem easier around here?
