    Totally off topic and not sure where to post-  anyone have any info on Arthur’s restaurant in Admiral?  I cannot find a website for them or listing on the blog in the restaurant section either.  I heard they are open now and wanted to see their menu. WSB, any info you might have?  I may head over to the WSB forums and post there, too. Thanks!

      We reported on them as they got ready to open and we published an update that they were opening one day later than planned. I believe they’ve been open two weeks now. Our restaurant page is behind on a few things due to a personnel shortage but I hope to update it soon. As for online information, they still don’t seem to have their own site but a few people seem to have posted menu pictures here:

    Another off-topic post. I notice tents re-appearing under the low bridge after the massive cleanup that just took place. Who can we notify about this? Maybe “no camping” signs can be put in place like on mtn to sound greenway?

      That’s been mentioned in other recent stories/comment threads. Depends on where. If the area you’re mentioning is in West Seattle – west of the low bridge – todd.wiebke@seattle.gov is the Southwest Precinct point person on homelessness-related issues – as also noted in the story we published last night about the SW Precinct briefing at the WS Chamber. If it’s the actual area that was swept this past week, east of the low bridge, that is not the SW Precinct jurisdiction, so what’s here would apply:

        Thanks, it is the patch of ground under the east end of the low bridge (where the alki trail circles around under the bridge). It was cleared of tents and a massive amount of garbage just a week or two ago.

    I’m looking out my office window onto the Alaska Way Viaduct, and I see a Rapid Ride C bus heading south that appears to be broken down.  It looks like a Metro truck behind it.  Just in case someone is waiting for a C and it didn’t come when it was supposed to!

      Thanks – that doesn’t seem to be on SDOT’s radar as I’ve seen no advisories, nor on Metro’s.

Sorry, comment time is over.
