TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Rainy Thursday

(SDOT MAP with travel times/video links; is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE)

(Click any view for a close-up; more cameras on the WSB Traffic page)

7:02 AM: Good morning. No incidents reported in or from West Seattle so far, but it’s a rainy morning following a rainy night, so please watch out for puddling (or worse) in some of the usual spots. (Via Twitter, Meg mentions Fauntleroy/Raymond.)

7:26 AM: If you’re at or near 35th/Avalon, you might be noticing multiple fire units on the west side of 35th. It’s an “automatic fire alarm” call at 4435 35th SW (Aura).

8 AM: Thanks for the tips. Emergency response at 47th and Genesee, possibly involving a bicycle rider. We are on our way to find out more.

8:25 AM: We’re at the scene. Westbound Genesee is closed at 46th. Eastbound is open. We’ll be writing about the incident separately shortly. (Here’s the link.)

8:38 AM: Police say Genesee will reopen shortly.

8:45 AM: If you haven’t headed out yet – it’s now raining very hard, so be ready to travel slowly to stay safe.

That’s from yesterday. I hope or else someone needs to check on him.

  Yes, it was from yesterday. I don’t have time to look up the link again but I tweeted that photo shortly after a reader pointed it out in yesterday’s traffic coverage.

Wow. Those people watchers sure are clear these days, you can almost make out license plate numbers.

I think the camera is now broken – sigh. I’ve had to change the views featured here several times in the past week as cameras fall into disrepair. Will find a substitute for this one.

Sorry, comment time is over.
