READER REPORT: Recognize these glasses?

 |   Seen around town | West Seattle news

Last time we published a photo of prescription eyeglasses found by a reader, it turned out they had been stolen in a car prowl … on Lake Union. Somewhere out there, whether via car prowl or simple misplacement or some other unforeseen circumstances, somebody is missing these glasses, and the finder is hoping to return them:

A nice pair of glasses was found on Sunday afternoon 9/22. They were in the middle of the road at SW Charlestown and 53rd SW, but luckily they were not run over. They are gold-rim prescription glasses in a hard black rectangle case.

The finder has posted myriad other places, including the Lost/Found/non-pets board in our Community Forums, so this is one last try. Email westseattleblog@gmail.com if yours & we’ll connect you.

 |   West Seattle news | West Seattle traffic alerts

6:01 AM: Good morning. It’s Monday, September 30.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

So far, this week’s forecast looks promising. Today: Sunny, high in the low 60s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:08 am, while sunset will be at 6:49 pm.

SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT & OTHER ROAD WORK

*After another abbreviated weekend work session, we’re awaiting this week’s schedule for the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project – for which SDOT tells us a “bit” of work remains to be done.

*For the Admiral Way Bridge seismic project, the north half of the bridge remains closed, with one lane each way on the south side, until the project switches sides, likely in mid-October; Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.

TRANSIT

Metro buses today – Regular schedule.

Water Taxi today – Regular schedule.

Washington State Ferries today – 2 boats on the Triangle Route, plus the “unscheduled third boat,” now available on weekends too. Check for alerts here, where you’ll also find information on the fare increases that start tomorrow (Tuesday, October 1).

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

High Bridge – Here’s the main camera, followed by the Fauntleroy-end camera:

Spokane Street Viaduct – This view usually looks westward, with eastbound lanes at left and westbound lanes at right:

Low Bridge – Looking west:

1st Avenue South Bridge:

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

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

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!
