It’s a choke point, there’s no real access between Lacey and Lakewood without getting on I-5 or going around JBLM through Yelm/Roy (or cutting through a water tower lot in an HOA). Any backups or slowdowns get magnified. If everything is working right, there’s no issues, if there’s an issue, there’s no relief (even cutting through the base may not be much help, if you have access)
