    Please slow down on west Seattle bridge. I’m genuinely stunned by the speeds some of you are travelling. I cross it frequently for work, so far I’ve seen two cars hit the wall. I’m a big fan of getting home safely, you should be too.

      Yes please drive the speed limit and get to your destination without harm to anyone. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
