From The Washington State Department of Transportation:

Plenty of pigskin this weekend

Get ready, football fans. Both the University of Washington Huskies and the Seattle Seahawks are in town this weekend. Seattle area travelers should plan ahead for delays around 4:30 p.m. Saturday as thousands of fans flock toward Husky Stadium to watch UW take on Arizona State. And watch for delays again around 1:25 p.m. Sunday as the 6-2-1 Seattle Seahawks return to CenturyLink Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. They’ll be plenty of tailgating and festivities around the games, so make sure to check travel times before you leave the house. Let’s go Dawgs and Hawks!
