6:49 AM: Good morning! A lot to start with:

AVALON PROJECT BEGINS: SDOT‘s big project is scheduled to get going this week. Our final preview, published Friday, has details on the sequencing and what to watch for.

SCHOOLS REOPEN: Districts that were on spring break last week (in our area, Seattle, Highline, and Vashon Island) are back in session today.

STADIUM ZONE: Mariners are home again tonight, 7:10 pm vs. Cleveland, which means extended West Seattle Water Taxi service.
