The West Seattle Bridge doesn’t open up for bus drivers and us passengers until tomorrow.

WSB September 18, 2022 (12:47 pm)

They *could* have put buses back on the bridge today. Metro just chose not to do it until Monday.

RayWest September 18, 2022 (8:20 am)

Free at last!

Just rode the 120 to Seattle over the reopened bridge.

DC September 18, 2022 (9:13 am)

Interesting. SDOT said they would wait until Monday to use the high bridge. I guess even the bus drivers can’t wait to test out the newly repaired bridge!

DC September 18, 2022 (9:11 am)

I saw some people saying google maps has updated showing the Spokane and West Seattle Bridge open. It is still shows them closed for me and directing towards the detour routes. Anyone else having that issue?

AJ September 18, 2022 (1:11 pm)

Just drove to Costco. Google routed me through the WS bridge on my way to Costco. On my way back it detoured through 1st Ave bridge.

EWS September 18, 2022 (10:16 am)

Thé Madison Middle School clinic is also offering updated bivalent COVID boosters. I was able to book for Moderna and many places are out of that due to shipping delays and/or supply shortage.
