2:31 PM: Thanks for the tip and photo. A multi-vehicle crash, also including a Metro bus, has backed up traffic on the onramp from Avalon/Spokane to the eastbound West Seattle Bridge. Tow trucks were reported to be on the way. No serious injuries reported. But if you need to get to the eastbound bridge, try another route for a while.

3:31 PM: Another texter sent this photo of the bus:

No camera at that spot so we don’t have an update on whether it cleared.

9:42 AM: Two incidents have the West Seattle Bridge down to one lane each way in almost the same spot, as shown in the traffic camera screengrab above. We’ve been mentioning the eastbound incident in our morning traffic roundup but now that there’s a westbound incident too, we’re breaking this out. Both involving truck trailers going sideways. Avoid the bridge for a while!

9:57 AM: Tow trucks are reported to be on the way (for both trucks/trailers).

10:16 AM: The first tow crew to arrive is on the westbound side; they’re trying to strategize how to temporarily block the 1st Avenue onramp too so they can work on getting this turned around so the tow crew can pull it away going west. Meantime, both outside lanes are now moving on the eastbound side, though the sideways truck is still there.

10;27 AM: Down to one lane again on the eastbound side again while they deal with tows. They’re going “eastbound in the westbound lanes” to get that truck/trailer off the bridge – using the inside westbound lane even while traffic continues westbound in the other lanes.

10:40 AM: The westbound side is now clear. On the eastbound side, they’re still working on the tow.

10:44 AM: And now the eastbound side is clear.

6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Thursday, October 16, 2025.

(Screengrab of traffic cam before SFD and other SPD arrived at bridge scene)

11:13 PM: Part of the westbound West Seattle Bridge is blocked just before the Delridge exit after what police have told dispatch they believe is a hit-run crash. An officer reported that a black vehicle likely to have “major front-end damage” is believed to have exited the bridge at Delridge or some point further west.

11:17 PM: Officers believe they’ve found that car on the Delridge offramp. The driver is believed to have initially walked away but is returning, they’ve told dispatch.

11:22 PM: The Delridge offramp is reported to be completely blocked.

12:07 AM: Offramp’ll be blocked a while for cleanup.

12:27 AM: Or not; police say they’re reopening the ramp. We’re meantime following up on injuries.

ADDED MONDAY: This update is from SPD Blotter:

Seattle police officers arrested a 17-year-old boy following a hit and run collision on the West Seattle Bridge Saturday night.

On Oct 11, at about 11:00 p.m., a patrol officer witnessed a car travelling a high rate-of-speed with no headlights on, westbound, on the West Seattle Bridge. The car crashed into another vehicle, also going westbound, on the bridge.

Officers arrived, and found the occupants of the victim vehicle, a man and a woman, both 45, with minor injuries. The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived and provided them with medical aid.

The suspect vehicle fled the crash and then struck a barrier at the Delridge Way Southwest off-ramp, disabling the car. The vehicle’s occupants ran away on foot.

While police investigated the crash, the fleeing occupants returned to the scene of the crime. Police arrested the 17-year-old driver for hit and run and reckless driving. Two of the passengers had minor injuries, and they were treated by SFD and taken to the hospital.

Police issued the teen driver a citation for failure to provide insurance, and having mismatched license plate and car registration. Officers released him from custody to a family member at the Southwest Precinct.’

(Seattle Police photo)

Police impounded the arrestee’s car from the roadway, as it sustained significant damage.

Police are at two collision scenes in West Seattle right now:

Thanks to Jan for that photo of the scene of a crash involving three vehicles by the Alki Avenue “flower houses” in the 1300 block [vicinity map]. It’s partly blocking the south/east direction.

Meantime, no photo, but police report both directions of Sylvan Way are blocked at SW Holly [map] because of a crash described as a driver hitting a tree.

SFD has responded to both scenes, though not major responses, so injuries are likely not life-threatening. One person is reportedly being transported to a hospital from the Sylvan Way crash via AMR (private ambulance).

6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, October 10, 2025. No classes today at many local schools.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET

The forecast for today is cloudy, likely showery, high near 60. Sunrise will be at 7:21 am; sunset, at 6:29 pm.
