Here’s the forecast – sunny, high in the 60s, still no rain in sight. (Thursday’s high was 75, tying the record set in 1961.)

TRANSIT INFO

Metro buses are on their regular schedules; watch @kcmetroalerts for trip cancellations/reroute alerts.

No changes in ferries (check here for alerts/updates) so far today.

While commuting to work was unable to stop there is trash in the wheel chair curb ramp and a shopping cart in the road at the bottom of Genesee hill at 26th ave sw. .

Please report it to 206-684-ROAD in case no one else has yet.

The Water Taxi service is needed this weekend with both the Mariners and Seahawks playing home games and hopefully an even greater need on Sunday! The County decision making to do the season change maintenance this weekend makes no sense!

WSB October 14, 2022 (9:16 am)

This was announced weeks ago when the county announced the plan to keep service year-round through the winter again. The Seahawks game would have already been known then but the baseball game is a late addition.
