Poggie Tavern proprietor Joel Stedman says he and the staff are extra-bummed the tavern can’t be open this holiday week to share holiday cheer and festive decorations. The Poggie’s been closed since a sewer-line problem was discovered this past weekend, and it’s turned out to be bigger than suspected – after consulting with multiple plumbers, they learned that a line had apparently collapsed. It’s part of their building, the city has told them, not part of the public infrastructure, but it stretches out into the street, so when repairs start first thing tomorrow morning, they expect a lane closure out front (if you haven’t been to The Poggie, it’s on the west side of the 4700 block of California SW). Stedman says they’re hoping it can be fixed by the weekend but could take more than a week – especially with the holiday – so they’re not sure how soon they’ll be able to reopen, but he’s confident that things will “be all right” before long. He says other owners of local establishments in old buildings have been offering commiseration and advice, and he’s really appreciative of that. Anything else the community can do? we asked. One suggestion: Patronize their sibling establishment, Larry’s Tavern (3405 California SW), which Stedman and wife Margo Beaver opened more than a year before taking over The Poggie in early 2020.

8:00 AM: The 99 tunnel is closed both ways because of a power outage.
8:20 AM: WSDOT has no estimate for reopening.
9:09 AM: Don’t even try to head toward downtown (unless it’s by bike or Water Taxi). One reader tried and finally gave up after little progress: “All roads leading in are at a standstill.”
9:23 AM: We haven’t heard a cause for the outage but for the record, here’s its footprint, from the City Light outage map, where it’s listed as 167 customers despite the outage zone’s extensive sprawl:
9:49 AM: Note that 99 access is closed far before the tunnel – for example, the ramp from the eastbound, West Seattle Bridge, and also to the south, SDOT just tweeted: “NB SR 99 is closed north of S Idaho St. All vehicles must exit at S Spokane St.” The main problem for the tunnel, per an AlertSeattle message, is that the outage is affecting its ventilation.
9:56 AM: City Light map shows most of the outage has just been resolved. We’re watching to see how soon the tunnel will reopen and will continue updating here until resolved.
10:30 AM: Still closed.
10:47 AM: WSDOT has just announced that the tunnel has reopened.
11:51 AM: We are following up on some questions raised by this. For the simple one – what caused the outage – SCL spokesperson Jenn Strang says it was “a wire that came down at 4th S and S Hanford this morning.”
1:05 PM: We also asked WSDOT about why the tunnel didn’t have backup systems. Spokesperson RB McKeon said, “There is redundancy in the system and we would normally receive power from the north end. That switch gear has failed and although our emergency generators kicked on, they are not designed to run the ventilation and some of the other systems.” McKeon added that “… we are also in touch with the manufacturer of our switch gear and have asked them for an assessment and recommendations. We are not aware of any other occasion where this has occurred.”

It’s trash/recycling day in Gatewood, and a truck is reported to have brought down a wire/cable across SW Elmgrove west of 35th SW [map]. Police are there until City Light can come tend to it, though officers believe it’s a cable, not a live wire, and there’s no accompanying outage.

Thanks to David for sending the photo and tip. He says that truck’s been stuck since about 4:30 pm at 52nd SW and SW Hughes, which he describes as a “switchback turn.” (Here’s a map.) Radio exchanges indicate police have just gotten to it a short time ago.

3:08 PM: Police are closing Alki Avenue between 61st and 62nd after a hit-run crash that is reported to have injured a 2-year-old child. The victim is reported to be ‘awake and alert’ so the initially large SFD response is being reduced. Police are looking for a gray Toyota RAV-4 with a dent on the passenger side, plate possibly starting with CDX.
(Added: Photo by Cami MacNamara)
3:27 PM: Police just told dispatch that they’re reopening Alki Avenue. Medics were taking the child to a hospital; we’ll be following up with SFD for an update.
4:25 PM: SFD tells us the victim was a 5-year-old boy who was in stable condition when taken to Harborview Medical Center. We’ll follow up with SPD to find out whether they found/find the driver.
7:30 AM: Avoid the Delridge onramp to the Eastbound bridge: serious flooding. (Note: See comments for photos)
8:28 AM: A nonfunctioning (spun-out) vehicle is blocking things too.
8:44 AM: See the cameras below – the blocking vehicle on the bridge is currently shown on the high-bridge camera, and the Delridge camera shows the backup from the onramp trouble.
8:54 AM: Commenter CJ reports, “There’s a white pickup spun out and stuck in the ditch below the Welcome to WS sign.”

Thanks to the texter who sent the photo and report that a tree is down across Fairmount, under the Admiral Way Bridge. They report SDOT has been notified “and will respond.”
Thanks for the tip! After a reader told us about the road work on 44th SW between Alaska and Edmunds, we went over to check it out. A crew’s doing concrete pavement work and the street is partly closed right now.
That means a rerouting of buses; the C Line that would normally stop in this area is rerouted to 42nd/Alaska, according to a Metro alert.
