TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Wednesday watch

(SDOT MAP with travel times/ Is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE/ West Seattle-relevant traffic cams HERE)

6:59 AM: Good morning! One alert – a crash on NB I-5 just before I-90, blocking one lane. One reminder:

NO WATER TAXI SERVICE THIS WEEK: No service on the West Seattle and Vashon Water Taxi routes this week because of the downtown dock move. The Route 773 and Route 775 shuttles are still running.

STADIUM ZONE: Mariners host the Padres at 3:40 pm.

7:18 AM: WSDOT says the NB I-5 crash scene has cleared.

    Hello does anyone know the most southern bus stop for the 120 before leaving downtown?  I’m planning to try to walk past the bus slow down on 1st today and trying to get to Delridge.  Any suggestions?

      Columbia downtown and Railroad in Pioneer Square. But I will say the past two days there hasn’t been the usual slowdown.

    The 116 bus driver told us this morning Metro added more buses to the 116/118/119 routes due to the water taxi being down this week. She said they didn’t communicate it out so no one knows when they run so the normal buses are packed to the brim while the extra buses are empty. I did finally receive a text notification around noon today of the additional buses.  With only two days left of the workweek, thank you Metro *insert sarcasm here*!

    Thank you both DH and newnative.  I’m crossing my fingers for a peaceful speedy (ish) commute tonight.

Sorry, comment time is over.
