A significant wire theft has caused the closure of a ramp in downtown Seattle Tuesday morning.

“They’re getting desperate because they are now cutting live wires,” Armstrong said. “That’s pretty dangerous to cut but they’re doing it and were able to do it without getting hurt.”

But WSDOT says the problem is taking a huge toll on your tax dollars and on work crews. Repairs cost over the last six months up to Jan. 31 have cost $129,000 and 641 labor hours, according to McKenzie. Troopers and WSDOT are asking for your help.
