6:03 AM: First note this morning: The Spirit of Kingston is on the West Seattle Water Taxi run today, because Doc Maynard is filling in for Sally Fox on the Vashon run.

8:06 AM: Still incident-free in and from West Seattle, with one hour of major commute time to go.

8:20 AM: SDOT reports a crash at 51st and Admiral Way. No SFD callout, which indicates no serious injuries.

8:36 AM: Several Seattle Fire units are responding to a call at an apartment building in the 9000 block of 35th SW, so that might cause some congestion for a while. (First units on scene aren’t seeing anything.)

8:49 AM: Call closed – units were leaving as we pulled up. Northbound traffic was getting around via the center lane.
