CHECK TRAFFIC BEFORE YOU GO

The other major bridge across the river – the South Park Bridge (map). Here’s the nearest camera:

Going through South Park? Don’t speed. (Same goes for all the other detour-route neighborhoods, both the arterials and neighborhood streets!)

     Does anyone know if the south seattle community college Georgetown campus affected by the power outage? My son attends an in person program on campus

      The outage is down to 600 customers now. Looks like part of that area might be affected but I am not seeing anything in any of the college’s online channels. They seem to be pretty good historically about sending out email alerts to the college community, though, so I would hope they’d do that if any classes are affected….

Sorry, comment time is over.
