Click through the gallery for 10 must-have apps every Seattle parent should have at their fingertips.

Seattle Freeways App

Oh Seattle, we love to hate your unpredictable traffic. Take the guesswork out of local traffic with the Seattle Freeways app, offering real-time traffic maps and cameras for the Puget Sound---from Olympia to Everett. You can get daily notifications when you leave home and work for your freeway route (which may or may not be a good thing depending on the estimated transit time) and updates when accidents, roadwork, and special events may affect road conditions.

Bonus: You can receive mountain pass reports and Canadian border delays for all Western Washington crossings.

Download: iPhone
Cost: $2.99 (Lite version available for free)
