8:58 AM: Our crew says Puget Sound Energy has just arrived, and workers from the site are across the street by Trader Joe’s until they get the all-clear:

Traffic IS getting by.

9:13 AM: Seattle Fire spokesperson Kyle Moore says crews shut off the gas before PSE arrived. No injuries reported.

I love that I drove by there & thought, “How weird, they’re all standing together by Trader Joe’s–maybe it’s a Monday morning staff meeting?” Duhhhr. Glad everyone’s ok: that’s a scary way for them to start their week!
