7:10 AM: Soggy and slow going out there – no specific incidents reported in our area so far.
BACK TO SCHOOL: Parochial schools are returning this week – today is the first day of school for Our Lady of Guadalupe (35th/Myrtle) and the second day for Holy Rosary (42nd/Genesee), so be mindful of school zones, buses, and crosswalks. Also, we’re told the buses that serve Seattle Public Schools will be out practicing routes.
7:14 AM – TRANSIT ALERT JUST IN: Tweeted and texted by Metro:
