7:16 AM: In case you missed our mention last nightMetro is circulating another reminder of its systemwide changes next month. Biggest one for West Seattle is the RapidRide C Line/D Line separation, which will include the C Line going to and ending in South Lake Union.

8:16 AM: Still incident-free this morning.

11:04 AM: As Kara points out in comments, northbound 4th Ave. S. has police activity; it’s because of a shooting on board a Metro bus. NB Route 132 (which originates in Burien), we’ve confirmed with King County DOT. One person is in custody and another sought; a 22-year-old man has been taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound.

    Something is up in the Sodo Busway, shortly after Lander. Buses routed to 6th. The 21 was affected, not sure what others, maybe the 50. Lots of flashing police lights, but don’t know anything else.

      Somebody was shot on a bus. I’ve been trying to find out if it was a 21. Have seen pix of the bus from regional media but not a route number (the front says “to terminal”).

        Regional media/ Seattle Times says it was on a RT 132

          The Times just added that, which I tweeted, thanks. When they first reported, there was no route #. No WS stops along the way.

Sorry, comment time is over.
