6:01 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
We never did see the promised sunshine on Tuesday, but today’s forecast says it should appear, with a high in the mid-40s. Sunrise/sunset – 7:52 am and 4:45 pm.
THIS WEEK’S TWO REMINDERS
*The new “school street” on 45th in front of Madison Middle School, between Spokane and Hinds, continues today. No motorized vehicles on that block 7 am-5 pm unless you live there or are a delivery driver delivering there.
*Sound Transit is scheduled to continue geotechnical-research drilling just east of the southwest end of the West Seattle Bridge.
