6:02 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Friday, January 10, 2025.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Today, rain returns, with a high in the upper 40s. Sunrise/sunset – 7:55 am and 4:39 pm.

TRANSIT

Metro buses – Regular schedule – except for this, which is expected to affect service for hours:

On Friday, January 10, a bus and transit vehicle memorial procession for Transit Operator Shawn Yim will be held in downtown Seattle. Expect service disruptions, delays, and canceled trips due to this event.

King County Metro, community members, riders, and transit agencies throughout the region will gather, to celebrate and remember Transit Operator Shawn Yim, who was killed in the line of duty on December 18.

Transit service, the Customer Information and the Lost & Found office services will be temporarily reduced while employees attend the memorial event.

We recommend riders who rely on transit services plan to travel early and allow additional travel time and consider alternatives in the event that your bus trip is temporarily not operating.

Sound Transit Link 1 Line and 2 Line services and Water Taxi routes are expected to operate regular schedules.

Real-time information in trip planning and transit tools, and transit alerts may not be accurate during this period.

We appreciate your understanding as the Metro family takes time to mourn our fallen friend and colleague.

According to this post, which includes a map, the procession starts at 10 am.

Water Taxi –  As noted, regular schedule.
