No incidents in/from West Seattle so far this morning.

ELECTION DAY: You’re likely to see signwaving along your commute route – today’s Election Day, aka voting-deadline day; get your ballot in by tonight (best way to guarantee it’ll count is to get it to a drop spot by 8 pm).

7:48 AM: Very localized showers out there – we went through one that lasted about four blocks.

8:17 AM: As commenters point out, slow going everywhere. Also, for the second day in a row, a texter reports a jackknifed bus in the Brace Point/Endolyne intersection.

9:08 AM: Just went by; bus cleared.

11:00 AM: Still showery weather. Here’s the Instagram video we mentioned in comments, from around 8:20 this morning:

    Delridge is crawling today. At Hudson and barely moving.

    Traffic on Delridge is backed up to Brandon St trying to get to the bridge.

    Hard to get anywhere

    For the second day in a row traffic is backed up everywhere.

    Localized showers, indeed! We got just a few minutes of hard rain and hail, abruptly followed by nothing at all.

      I can’t link it directly b/c we’re on the road but we have hail/sleet/graupel/whatever video in our Instagram feed http://instagram.com/westseattleblog – TR

    If there is another jackknifed metro bus tomorrow I am buying a lotto ticket.

  • Matt S. November 3, 2015 (8:34 am)

    That’s the stuff, WSB! We’re about half a mile north of that spot in the video.

    Same driver? Someone need retraining? I am so glad I commute before 7am. Easy bus ride, great driver.

    Those Endolyne jacknifed busses are traffic calming measures. Accept them now.

  • mustardgreen November 3, 2015 (9:51 am)

    Thanks for the laugh this morning Rick!

    So what’s with the non-functioning traffic times sign? At about 7:15 this morning it was dark. This is the one on Fauntleroy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
