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. (Except the low bridge, for now; SDOT says it’s working on it.)

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!

    Does anyone know what’s happening on 55th Ave SW north and south of Dakota? There are SDOT no parking signs on both sides of the street on Saturday 6/1 for a “special event”.  I didn’t find anything on the SDOT construction page.

      I’ll try rooting around a bit later but in the meantime, the secret to reading “no parking” signs is to find the one sign every half block that has an extra piece of paper clipped to it. That should include a contact number and a little more about what’s supposed to be happening.

Sorry, comment time is over.
