Topping today’s lookahead: The West Seattle Water Taxi‘s schedule changes starting this morning, as announced last week. (And that means its shuttle buses change too.) Here’s the new schedule; you’ll note the first run from Seacrest to downtown is five minutes earlier, and the last run from downtown to Seacrest is five minutes later.

Also on the “getting around” front – tonight is another scheduled closure for the westbound Spokane Street Viaduct, 10 pm-5 am, the section of the West Seattle Bridge that’s between I-5 and Highway 99. More highlights:

50-SOMETHING SINGLES: 4-8 pm event at the Senior Center of West Seattle – free to drop in (live music at 5 pm with Band Jam), or have dinner for $8 (strawberry waffles and sausage at 5:30 pm). More singles info – call Lee 206-938-5017 or Mary 206-935-2162.

Anyone know if the water taxi shuttle is changing to be more frequent? Seems like it waits too long after the water taxi drops off (like 15 minutes!)

Lorelee – the delays leaving were really annoying. I think they were caused because they do a loop back to the dock and had to balance the time that people going back to the dock would have to wait before the boat left (even though in the evening I suspect the number of passengers going to Seattle was lower than come from Seattle).

Now that sailings are 30m apart rather than 40m the delays should be less (presumably 5 mins less, if they split the reduction in waiting equally for both directions).

Sorry, comment time is over.
