TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Saturday closures, changes

Once again this weekend, summer fun brings road closures and bus changes, so we’re starting the morning with a reminder about those. For today’s Float Dodger 5K and West Seattle Grand Parade, California SW will be closed from just south of Admiral Way to Edmunds in The Junction by the time the race starts at 9:45 am; the north part closes earliest for parade staging, and some side streets are affected too, with parking restrictions kicking in shortly wherever you see a “No Parking” sign.

Here are the official Metro Transit reroutes (each link goes to the PDF posted on Metro’s site for that specific route), expected to be in effect approximately 8 am-2 pm:

*RapidRide C Line
*Route 22 (only southbound affected)
*Route 50
*Route 128
*Route 773 (Water Taxi Shuttle)

If you are going to the Alki Art Fair (3000 California SW), which starts its first of two days at 10 am today, you can park at West Seattle High School and take a free shuttle to and from the beach. Note that the WSHS/Hiawatha area will be extra-busy not just because of that and parade staging, but also because the Mediterranean Fantasy Festival starts today at 11 am.

    Water Taxi 12:00 departure stranded 100+ Sounder fans. Full. Bummer, have to drive.

    any info on when California/side streets should be reopened?

      PA – North end of California is opening right now (12:46 pm) – the parade finished up here toward the starting line about six minutes ago. So it will be a rolling reopening.

Sorry, comment time is over.
