    Just a word of thanks for this regular feature. We look at it regularly as we plan our activities.

    Yes, thanks much WSB! Quick clarifier: it looks like SR 99 won’t be closed overnight b/t Battery Street tunnel and WS Bridge during the week as it has been?

      WSDOT has only last night’s closure lists – and next weekend.

Sorry, comment time is over.
