Earlier:

5:57 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, March 13, 2026, fifth day of the repair closure for the northbound 1st Avenue South Bridge. The South Park Bridge is a major detour route:

The West Seattle low bridge too.

SLUSHY WEATHER

As noted a few hours ago, the oft-predicted “rain/snow mix” tipped the latter way for some, so beware of lingering slush. But at least where we are, the rain seems to be in charge again. The forecast says the mix may continue this morning, with some fog – high in the low 40s. Sunrise is at 7:26 am; sunset at 7:12 pm. One week until spring!

MORE SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

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

CHECK WEATHER/TRAFFIC VIA MORE TRAFFIC CAMS
