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

6:45 AM: Good morning. A texter sent word of a crash on Fauntleroy Way SW near Fairmount Playfield. The log says one SFD was sent and closed out of it fairly quickly after it happened just before 6 am; otherwise, we don’t know the status, and there’s no SDOT alert. That’s the only incident reported in/from West Seattle so far this morning.

TRANSIT NOTE: Metro reported at 5:50 am that the 4:42 am Burien-departing Route 120 did not run.

PARKing DAY: Today’s the day that dozens of street spots around the city become temporary mini-parks. None are scheduled this early – that we know of – but watch for our “West Seattle Friday” highlights list later.

HIGHWAY 99 CLOSURE: Another reminder – here’s what’s scheduled to start tonight:

Closure begins 9 p.m. Friday, 9/21 from South Spokane Street to the south end of the Battery Street Tunnel. Saturday evening (9/22) the northbound SR 99 on-ramp at South Royal Brougham Way will reopen. Northbound SR 99 from South Spokane Street to South Royal Brougham Way will reopen Monday 9/24 at 5 a.m.

We’ll publish an update if it ends early (and as was the case last weekend, if you notice an early reopening before we do, we appreciate tips – 206-293-6302, text or voice, 24/7, thank you!)
