A vehicle fire broke out on southward Interstate 5 (I-5), just south of State Route 529 (SR 529) near milepost 197 in Everett.
All the lanes have reopened just before 8 a.m., but a even-mile backup remains for travelers and commuters on the highway.

UPDATE: We have a vehicle fire on SB I-5 just south of SR 529 (MP 197) in blocking the right 2 lanes. Emergency responders are on scene.
Expect delays in the area and slow down while driving by.
