6:00 AM: Good morning. Welcome to West Seattle Summer Fest day one – Friday, July 14th. (We’ll be on site at the festival with as-it-happens coverage as usual.)

WEATHER & SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Sunny, high in the upper 70s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:26 am; sunset will be at 9:05 pm.

WEST SEATTLE SUMMER FEST

In The Junction, the festival starts at 1 pm today, but street closures have been in effect since yesterday – California north of Oregon, south of Oregon to Edmunds, plus Alaska between 42nd and 44th. Metro bus reroutes are in effect too – find them route by route here. And if you’re parking, note that the lots around The Junction are subject to special “event parking.”

ROAD WORK ALERT

Continuing today in the Highland Park Way/Holden vicinity, work for the permanent signal:

Construction will take place on SW Holden St, just west of Highland Park Way SW between 7:00 am and 3:30pm each day. There will not be any full street or intersection closures. Workers will only be doing construction in one part of the road at a time, and while work is occurring people will be directed to drive on the other side of the road. At some times, this may require a single lane alternating between two directions with flaggers to help safely direct traffic.

TRANSIT TODAY

Metro – As mentioned above, Summer Fest reroutes in The Junction continue – see the info here.

Water Taxi – Regular schedule. The shuttle’s affected by Junction reroutes too.

Washington State Ferries – 2-boat schedule for Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth. See Vessel Watch for boats’ locations.
