6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, May 10.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

It’s really happening! Sunny, high near 80. Today’s sunrise was at 5:37 am; sunset will be at 8:34 pm.

ALERTS

FRIDAY & SATURDAY: Still looking for specifics President Biden‘s route, but we know he’s due to arrive sometime after 5:15 pm today and leave by 2:45 pm tomorrow, per the airspace advisory, and that Air Force One will use SEA, not Boeing Field. We’ll update here when we find out where he’s going after landing. (4:55 pm: That info STILL hasn’t emerged. But he’s on the way – Air Force One left the Bay Area around 3:20 pm. …. 5 PM: Just turned on the TV; he’s here, and will be heading downtown shortly. … 5:30 PM: He’s arrived downtown.)

FRIDAY: Also Friday night, the Mariners are back home, vs. the A’s at 6:40 pm.

SATURDAY: From Seattle Public Utilities, covering the next two Saturdays:

On Saturday, May 11 and Saturday, May 18, SPU contractor crews will be performing pavement restoration on Sylvan Way SW between SW Orchard St and Delridge Way SW as part of the Longfellow Natural Drainage System (NDS) project.

To perform this work safely and effectively, Sylvan Way SW between Home Depot’s eastern access and SW Orchard St will be temporarily closed to traffic. Local access will be allowed to driveways east of the closure on Sylvan Way SW. Signage and flaggers will be on site to direct traffic. Working hours on May 11 and May 18 will be 7 am – 7 pm.

ALSO SATURDAY: Residential streets will be busy since it’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day at more than 500 locations around the peninsula and a bit beyond, 9 am-3 pm.

ONGOING ROAD-WORK ALERT

*SDOT’s info page for the Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project is updated with more details about the ongoing work at Delridge/Oregon, which is narrowed as a result:

TRANSIT NOTES

Metro today – Regular schedule, though presidential travel might affect the pm commute; check advisories here.

Water Taxi today – Regular schedule, including Friday later-night runs. Check the real-time map if you need to see where the boat is.

Washington State Ferries today – The usual 2 boats on the Triangle Route. Check WSF alerts for last-minute changes. Use the real-time map to see where your ferry is.

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

Low bridge: Open.

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Orchard), cameras are also at Delridge/Genesee, Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Henderson, Delridge/Oregon, and video-only (so you have to go to the map), Delridge/Holden and Delridge/Thistle.

High Bridge – Here’s the main camera:

High Bridge – the view from its southwest end (when SDOT points the 35th/Avalon/Fauntleroy camera that way):

MORE TRAFFIC CAMS: All functioning traffic cams citywide are here; West Seattle and vicinity-relevant cameras are on this WSB page.

BRIDGE INFO: The @SDOTBridges feed on X (ex-Twitter) shows whether the city’s movable bridges are open for vessel traffic. (We’re aware that the low bridge hasn’t shown up in this feed since the recent closure, and we’re awaiting word from SDOT on whether that’ll be fixed.)

If you see a problem on the bridges/streets/paths/water, please text or call our hotline (when you can do that safely, and after you’ve reported to authorities if they’re not already on scene) – 206-293-6302. Thank you!
