2:54 PM: 13 hours after a crash brought down power lines, closing West Marginal Way SW just north of Highland Park Way, the street is finally reopening. The live SDOT camera has shown southbound traffic coming through, and it’s showing crews removing the “street closed” signage on the northbound side. That should alleviate traffic backups that had been growing on other routes – such as the low bridge – because of the closure.

3:06 PM: The last signs were removed and the last SDOT truck just left, so it’s fully open both ways.

9:44 PM: We asked police if the car whose driver started all this had turned out to be stolen. Not as far as they can tell, SPD says tonight – they asked King County Sheriff’s Deputies to try a “knock and talk” at the car owner’s residence but deputies couldn’t get past a locked gate. To date, apparently it hasn’t been reported stolen, so they’re concluding it wasn’t.

TUESDAY MORNING UPDATE: We asked City Light spokesperson Jenn Strang whether there was something unusual about the repairs that took so long. Her reply: “This incident on West Marginal Way involved telecommunications wires/pole not electrical equipment.”

(9:05 am screenshot of SDOT camera)

9:06 AM: West Marginal north of Front is still closed and apparently won’t reopen soon, as an officer just told dispatch that City Light is bringing in a new pole.

9:17 AM: As mentioned in comments, there’s also been tour-bus trouble at the top of the Highland Park Way hill. An officer just told dispatch that a tow truck has now arrived for the bus.

9:45 AM: Police say City Light tells them it’ll be “another two to three hours.”

Earlier:

6:10 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Monday, June 16, 2025.

CLOSURE NOTE

As of right now, the West Marginal Way crash scene north of Highland Park Way hasn’t cleared yet, so avoid that route.

Sunny, high in the low 70s. Today’s sunrise was again at 5:11 am (as early as it gets, and staying there another week); sunset will be at 9:09 pm. (Summer officially arrives Friday evening!)

2:07 AM: West Marginal Way is blocked by downed power lines near Front Street (just north of Highland Park Way). According to police, they came down when a driver flipped a Tesla, likely because of racing involving at least two other cars. Officers have told dispatch the Tesla was unoccupied when they arrived, but seriously damaged. They’ve summoned City Light to deal with the downed lines, and the closure might last for hours.

2:28 AM: The traffic-camera screenshot shows where the street is blocked. City Light isn’t on scene yet, police are telling dispatch.
