TRAFFIC CAMS, WEATHER, TRANSIT: Wednesday morning, with Wind Advisory continuing; Delridge law-enforcement response

8:00 AM: Thanks for the tips. A large law-enforcement response is blocking northbound Delridge Way near Orchard. Photojournalist Tim Durkan reports it is the end of a King County Sheriff’s Office pursuit that started with an armed carjacking in the White Center vicinity. He reports one person is in custody.

8:31 AM: Metro has finally just sent an alert saying the H Line is rerouted in the area. But our crew member checking out the scene says it appears close to clearing – a tow truck is on scene and more of the Burien PD/KCSO cars are leaving. Photo added above. (We’re following up with KCSO for further info on what started this.)

9:45 AM: A tree is down, blocking part of the 7500 block of 20th SW.

10:10 AM: SDOT is reported to be on scene to clear the tree.

Earlier:

6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

Blustery night but no major trouble reported so far; a Wind Advisory alert remains in effect until 10 pm. Otherwise, the forecast is for more rain. High in the upper 50s. Sunrise will be at 7:47 am; sunset, at 4:17 pm (as early as it gets, staying there until this weekend, when sunsets start setting later).

    Lanes blocked on Delridge north of Orchard. Looks like a car chase turned car crash? Saw a car speed by Delridge Hudson bus stop followed closely by about 8 cop cars. About ten minutes later saw those 8 cop cars and a fire engine blocking the north bound lanes of Delridge.

      It’s a county (sheriff) response – adding above. Thank you.

    The first ave bridge was a mess before that even happened, so good luck south enders!

  • Lamont December 10, 2025 (9:46 am)

    Lights just flickered on Alki, someone probably just lost power.

    • WSB December 10, 2025 (10:22 am)

      For once, no, nobody lost power with that flicker!

  • JK December 10, 2025 (11:45 am)

    Lights have been flickering a few times an hour for the past hour or so (Fauntleroy & Raymond). Fingers crossed for no power loss like last week!

  • CarDriver December 10, 2025 (12:09 pm)

    Have had no flickers/cable issues here by Homestead all day.

    • WSB December 10, 2025 (12:11 pm)

      We had a couple last half-hour in Upper Fauntleroy, still nobody out, yay.

Sorry, comment time is over.
