On Tuesday (8-17) a helicopter kept circling my neighborhood for @15 min, when I walked up the block all the traffic on Montlake Blvd was shut down and I arrived just in time to see the Presidential motorcade going onto the 520 freeway in Seattle. The entrance to the freeway is a bit complex, in that traffic must cross over the 520 freeway and do a U-Turn at E Hamline, then head a block back to the ramp. The stream of motorcycles did the entrance correctly, but the Presidential motorcade opted to go the wrong way from Lake Washington Blvd onto Montlake and do a very awkward tight turn onto the ramp - leaving the stream of motorcycles that was supposed to be in front of the President, left wondering what was happening... You can hear several of them shout as they see the motorcade "ditching" them as they make the proper turn onto Montlake. Obama motorcade ditches motorcycle escort
