7:41 AM: West Seattle and Vashon Water Taxis are canceled for the rest of the morning because of wind. Metro says the shuttle buses will keep running.
2:26 PM: From Metro – “The West Seattle Water Taxi will be resuming regularly scheduled service beginning with the 2:30 p.m. departure from Pier 50 in downtown Seattle.”
Earlier:
6:00 AM: Good morning. It’s Friday, January 12th, and the below-freezing air is here. Local roads are clear, though, as a dusting of snow is all we got (although some other areas around the region saw more).
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
We’re in the 20s now and the forecast suggests that’s where we’ll stay all day, with the sky gradually clearing, and wind from the north, then an overnight low in the teens. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:54 am, sunset at 4:40 pm.
LOOKING AHEAD
Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day – school and government closures, and some transit changes.
