CLOSURE ALERT: 1 to end, another to begin on 35th SW in Arbor Heights this week
That map shows the next closure zone on 35th SW as the Arbor Heights sidewalk project continues. The section between 104th and 106th is expected to reopen before the holiday, while the new closure between 102nd and 104th starts right after. From the newest SDOT project bulletin:
(Last) week, our crews continued detention pipe repair and testing work and began sidewalk construction on the west side of 35th Ave SW, between SW 104th St and SW 106th St. Unfortunately, our concrete provider was not able to deliver (Friday). However, the sidewalk is formed and we will complete the sidewalk concrete pours Monday, July 2 and Tuesday, July 3. This segment of 35th Ave SW will reopen to vehicular traffic by the end of the day on Tuesday, July 3. The new sidewalks on the west side of the street will remain closed until Thursday, July 5. For pedestrian access, please use sidewalk on the east side of the street.
Our crews will (next) begin sidewalk and driveway construction on the west side of 35th Ave SW, between SW 102nd St and SW 104th St. Beginning on Thursday, July 5, 35th Ave SW will be closed to through traffic between SW 102nd St and SW 104th St for two weeks so our crews can complete this work. Access will be maintained for residents located on these two blocks.* A detour will be in place beginning next Thursday, July 5.
More project details are here.

WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen blue Honda; paint vandalism
Two reader reports tonight:
STOLEN CAR: From Stephanie: “My mom’s car [blue 2005 Honda Element, above] was stolen early this morning from South Park. License AMA4815. Has front-end damage only; there are zip ties where the front bumper goes.” If you see it, call 911.
PAINT VANDALISM: Another car has been vandalized with random squiggles of paint. Here’s part of what was done to Crystal‘s car:
She says, “My car was tagged with yellow spray paint (Friday) on 35th Ave SW near othello. I saw the same yellow paint on the food bank building, the bus stop outside of Walgreens and another car parked on 35th near Walgreens.” It also resembles what Rose reported less than a week ago.
Water-main break under Admiral Way
Thanks for the tips on this. A Seattle Public Utilities repair crew is on the way to fix the break that has sent water over the top of Admiral Way hill, just south of the viewpoint. The SPU employee on the scene now tells us only one house is without water and that repairs will have to be made on the other side of Admiral – so be careful tonight if you’re driving/riding through that area.
SUMMER SCHOOL: Deadline extended for program open to all high-school students in West Seattle
Two weeks ago, we reported on the free summer-school program that’s available to all high-school students in West Seattle, regardless of where they go to school. Its administrator Sandi Whiton e-mailed to say they extended the registration deadline after word that one local school had canceled its own summer-school program – so you have until tomorrow (Monday, July 2nd) to sign up if interested. Here’s the updated registration form. She adds, “This is mainly a credit recovery program; however, if you have an incoming 9th grader who needs to brush up on his or her math skills, we are offering an Intro to Programming class that is taught by a recipient of UW’s Distinguished Professor Award. The class will be an animation through storytelling class, and all students will receive a .5 elective credit. Space is limited, so please get your applications in asap!”
