… or simple, like a sign you hold. You have two chances to do that this week – Scott (who also sent the street-mural photo above) sends this announcement – he and neighbors at Puget Ridge Cohousing are organizing Black Lives Matter sign-waving events at 16th/Holden this Tuesday and Thursday (June 23 and 25), 4-6 pm both days.

WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE CLOSURE: See why SDOT believes the bridge is fixable
June 22, 2020 4:35 pm

 |   Transportation | West Seattle Bridge Safety Project | West Seattle news

(SDOT photo – taking samples off side of bridge)

During last week’s West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force meeting (WSB coverage here), SDOT revealed that analysis so far shows the bridge IS likely fixable – so the biggest question now is whether repairs are feasible, more than whether they’re possible. Just published on SDOT Blog this afternoon is a close-up look at what led to that preliminary determination. From the post:

…Over the past few months, we have been hard at work conducting more than 100 scientific tests to analyze the structural stability of the West Seattle High-Rise Bridge. The tests completed so far have not found indications of problems with the post-tensioning system, comprising the steel strands running through the structure like a skeleton. Problems with this system would mean repairs would be much less likely to succeed.

We are continuing to analyze how long repairs would take, how much they would cost, whether or not repairs would allow traffic to return to previous levels, and how long and in what capacity the bridge could remain open after potential repairs were completed so that we can tell whether or not fixing the bridge is a worthwhile investment. …

We are keeping all options open and are still moving forward with our search for a team to design a replacement for the bridge in case repairs are not a feasible option. Meanwhile, we have begun assembling our construction equipment to stabilize the bridge, which will be a necessary step in every possible scenario.

The full analysis of the structural stability of the bridge should be complete in early July…..

From there, the post takes a deep dive into “a look at how the steel post-tension system works and the types of scientific tests we performed to analyze the structural stability of it.” It imcludes more on the cracks themselves. Again, the full post is here.

P.S. The next Community Task Force meeting is Wednesday at noon; we’re awaiting the link for public viewing and will publish it when we get it.

FOLLOWUP: What investigators are, and aren’t, saying about the human remains found off Alki Avenue
June 22, 2020 2:41 pm
|      92 COMMENTS
 |   Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

(WSB photo, Friday)

Lots of questions today about the story we first reported on Friday evening, human remains found off Duwamish Head. As promised, we’ve followed up. First, the biggest question: No information yet on whose remains, or how they died – that’s up to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, and we just checked with them – they told us it may take several days, and they have nothing to report right now. As for Seattle Police, we’ve talked with them too. Their next steps depend on what the ME’s Office determine. But for now, it is a homicide investigation.

We also asked SPD about the TikTok videos that surfaced over the weekend, as discussed in the comment section following our Friday report. Det. Mark Jamieson says SPD “is aware” of the videos, and while they can’t attest to authenticity, he can say that the report does show the initial call was for “a suitcase that smelled really bad,” which is the circumstance presented in the videos (police previously had not mentioned a suitcase, only plastic bags). And yes, as noted in one video, he says, police did not arrive for two hours – they had no officers available to send when the call first came in around 2 pm; they arrived around 4 pm. On TikTok, the teens say the suitcase was on the rocks but then the tide started taking it, and its bagged contents, away.

(Side note: The gruesome nature of the case has attracted attention from around the world; we’ve received calls from a British tabloid and a nationally syndicated TV show.)

BIKE SHARE: It’s back in Seattle, with JUMP returning under new ownership
June 22, 2020 2:01 pm
|      10 COMMENTS
 |   Transportation | West Seattle news

(May photo by Jeff Collehour)

After almost two months – with some stored near Jack Block Park (photo above) – bike-share bicycles are returning to service. Here’s the announcement we received:

JUMP bikes are returning to Seattle to help residents and visitors travel more safely via an open-air, socially-distant option. Seattle is the 2nd city in the world where Lime is relaunching JUMP bikes.

In early May, Lime acquired JUMP, which then pulled its bikes from Seattle streets at the time as a result of the deal to integrate the systems operationally. Lime will now redeploy the bikes, and they will continue to be available through the Uber app. The fleet size will start at around 500 e-bikes and grow based upon demand. Pricing is $1 to unlock and 36 cents per minute thereafter. Starting today, JUMP rentals will only be available in the Uber app. JUMP bikes will be added to the Lime app at a later date as a result of ongoing systems integration.

We know the ongoing COVID crisis has made it difficult for folks to get around. Metro ridership has dropped 72%, with very limited capacity on buses due to social distancing protocols. But we know people still have a need for transportation. With the return of bike share service to Seattle, more residents will be able to make critical errands and get to work in a pollution-free and congestion-reducing manner as King County moves to Phase II of COVID recovery.

We have a message out to ask if any of those initial 500 bikes are being placed in West Seattle. Let us know if you see them!

TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: NB 99 reopens south of South Park
June 22, 2020 12:48 pm
|      4 COMMENTS
 |   Not WS but we're mentioning it anyway | West Seattle news | West Seattle traffic alerts

12:48 PM: This has been discussed in comments on our morning traffic post but afternoon is here and it’s still not resolved, so we’re mentioning it: NB Highway 99 is still closed at Des Moines Memorial Drive just south of South Park [map]. Information is scant but witnesses on Twitter say it’s a standoff with a person on the overpass there, and it’s been under way for four hours. So if you’re headed this way from points south, you’ll want an alternate route.

12:53 PM: Moments after we published that, WSDOT sent an alert saying the highway has reopened.

Steelhead Residential Construction and Foster DBC: Welcome, new West Seattle Blog sponsors!
June 22, 2020 11:29 am
|    Comments Off on Steelhead Residential Construction and Foster DBC: Welcome, new West Seattle Blog sponsors!
 |   West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

Today, we welcome two new WSB sponsors! Through their community, two West Seattle Contractors discover a common goal.

Chris Spott, owner of Steelhead Residential Construction, LLC, and Drew Foster, owner of Foster DBC, LLC, are both residents of West Seattle. They met in a yoga class in a West Seattle studio and then ran into each other in the same West Seattle branch of HomeStreet Bank. They discovered that their kids went to West Seattle High School together and also discovered they were both in the residential-construction industry.

Chris moved to the neighborhood in 2008. At the time he had worked for a decade with a larger construction company but decided to set off on his own in 2013 and started Steelhead Residential Construction. He has been working on homes throughout the city.

Drew has lived in West Seattle since 1995 and was part owner of Ncompass Construction for 18 years before embarking on his new adventure Foster DBC (Design Build Consult). Drew is a true believer in community and that is what he set out to create with Foster DBC, bringing together a unique community of professionals, gathered and centered on residential construction and remodeling excellence. This idea struck home with Chris, and it’s what brought Drew’s attention to Steelhead.

Steelhead Residential Construction is a small general-contracting company that specializes in residential renovations, remodels, basement apartments, and small additions. Steelhead’s team consists of exceptional carpenters, project managers and partner with a group of experienced subcontractors who take great pride in the quality of their work. Combine this with the design professionals and craftsmen that Drew has worked with along with his experience with Backyard Cottages, you now have a strong basis for that community of professionals working toward an overall goal. That goal is to bring a personal, creative, and honest approach to your desired project. They will pay attention to your ideas, needs, and budget with the intension of providing the most professional and pleasant experience possible for each client.

Their desire is to focus on serving their community of West Seattle. Steelhead Residential Construction and Foster DBC are currently available to look at your projects and help make them a reality. They have taken the proper COVID-19 safety steps to ensure each one of their sites is safe for not only their employees but their clients and the community. You can contact them through their websites – steelheadrc.com and fosterdbc.com.

We thank Steelhead Residential Construction and Foster DBC for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.

Updates on the Terminal 5 modernization project were part of two recent West Seattle meetings – the Pigeon Point Neighborhood Council and West Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

“The need for T-5 is as relevant as ever,” Port Commissioner Peter Steinbrueck declared while presenting the annual “State of the Port” speech to the Chamber – usually given at an outdoor lunch at Jack Block Park, but presented online this year due to COVID-19.

The PPNC also met online. T-5’s project manager Emma Del Vento told the group that the project’s first-phase construction schedule is running behind.

We’re reminding you tonight that Metro and the King County Water Taxi are restoring some service tomorrow, after months of much-reduced service levels. For the Water Taxi, you can see the new schedule here. You’re reminded that “it’s important to note that social distancing passenger limits are in effect on the water taxi. The typical capacity aboard both Doc Maynard and Sally Fox is 278 passengers. With current COVID restrictions, we’re limited to 86 passengers on each vessel.” The shuttles, Routes 773 and 775, return to service too. As for Metro, here’s what’s coming back. You can also check here for canceled trips. The system is still fare-free, and buses are still running at reduced capacity too.

WEST SEATTLE ART: Black Lives Matter street murals planned for The Junction
June 21, 2020 2:42 pm

 |   West Seattle news | WS culture/arts

(WSB photo, West Seattle Junction, June 6th)

Where thousands of people stood in support of the Black Lives Matter movement just two weeks ago in the West Seattle Junction, two street murals are now planned. Stephanie Kramer says two murals are planned on the street itself – one at California/Alaska one at California/Oregon – roughly 53′ by 20′, to be painted on a day when the street is already closed for the Farmers’ Market. The announcement:

West Seattle Art for Social Justice is a collective of educators and local small business owners with an intent of elevating the voices of BIPOC & LGBTQIA BIPOC youth and adults through arts initiatives.

Inspired by the many communities coming together to create art as a beacon for systemic change, we are inspired & honored to be organizing this important art piece at the West Seattle Junction. Artists from the greater Seattle community will be working together to create this important piece of art in late July with support of the West Seattle Junction Association and West Seattle Farmers Market.

Artist bios and information will be featured on the WS Art for Social Justice BLM mural page [on social media] and inquiries can be sent to wsartforsocialjustice@gmail.com. To support this work, please see our gofundme @ gf.me/u/x9pasi

Each letter of the two murals – each reading BLACK LIVES MATTER – will have a separate artist, so, 32 in all.

SIGN-DEMIC: Here’s what all those COVID-19-related park signs have cost
June 21, 2020 1:00 pm

 |   Coronavirus | West Seattle news | West Seattle parks

While at Alki last night to cover the Moon Dancers, we noticed the newest Seattle Parks pandemic-related signage. It’s the latest in what’s been a three-month-long series of signage, from closures to social-distancing exhortations. We wondered how many signs have been made and how much the city has spent, so at week’s end, we asked. Here’s the reply from Seattle Parks spokesperson Rachel Schulkin:

Since the pandemic began, SPR has spend $87,757 on signage for over 4,000 signs.

The signs have all been made by United Reprographics, a black-owned business that the City often uses for larger printing and signage needs. These funds have come out of our Operating Budget, and may be eligible for reimbursement for federal dollars for COVID response.

We got the advance alert from Denise, who explained that she and some friends created the dance for this year’s virtual version of the Fremont Solstice Parade, and they “had so much fun doing the shoot that we decided to do a guerrilla performance at Alki on the Solstice.”

WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Catalytic-converter theft; car prowl; signs stolen
June 20, 2020 8:53 pm

 |   Crime | West Seattle news

Three reader reports:

CATALYTIC CONVERTER STOLEN: From Maya:

I want to alert people to the fact that my Prius had its catalytic converter cut out this morning around 10:35 am at the 8400 block of Fauntleroy Place (by the one-way street near Lincoln Park). My neighbor scared off a car parts thief as they were finishing up.

They sped off, without time to close their trunk or pick up all of their things, not stopping at the stop sign.

Maya’s neighbor got the getaway car on camera but this is the only sharable frame:

CAR PROWL: From Al on Myers Way:

On 6/16/2020 my truck was broken into. The perpetrator stole everything from the inside of the vehicle, attempted to steal a tool box that was secured with a cable and lock, left and came back two hours later with a torch to cut the handles off the tool box.

Al says the thief got away in the light-colored 1992 Toyota Paseo you see him putting items into, license plate starting with BNX.

SIGNS STOLEN: From Mary in Fauntleroy:

Two signs, one Black Lives Matter, the other In Our House We Believe…. Two were also stolen from next-door neighbor and one down the hill. We live on 44th Ave SW above Endolyne Joe’s.
