    WSB. Any updates on the Admiral Way bridge? Curious if they’ve found any surprises on its condition or if it was what they were expecting to see.

    Low bridge may be stuck. My partner and I have been waiting for about 15 minutes and line was already backed up to Delridge.

      Thanks. Possibly a long opening, but traffic appears to be flowing now.

    My niece is a 7th grader at Madison Middle School and she still has class through Wednesday.

    • WSB November 25, 2024 (7:54 am)

      Middle schools remain open. As we wrote, elementaries and K8s are not having classes. Thank you!

        Is there a reason the School traffic light is flashing at Gatewood then?  

        • WSB November 25, 2024 (8:50 am)

          Sometimes the school zone lights don’t always match up with the schedule! But also – since there are conferences, the school isn’t entirely closed, just not holding classes.

        All this time I didn’t realize “K8” was a special type of school designation. I thought it was just shorthand for kindergarten through eighth grade and included any schools that had any of those grades. My bad!

          West Seattle has two – Pathfinder and Boren STEM.

Sorry, comment time is over.
