3:36 PM: Police and SDOT are checking out what’s reported as a sinkhole near the west end of West Marginal Way SW, just east of the north end of Delridge. It’s reported to be about two feet wide by two feet deep, and an officer told dispatch they were marking it with a cone for starters – but because of the hole’s depth, that first cone wasn’t fully visible. So beware for now if you’re headed that way.
6:09 PM: No updates on that but there’s apparently another one – a texter reports one at 35th SW and SW Myrtle (and we’ve just heard SPD dispatched to check it out).

9:37 PM: Thanks to Jill for the photo. The driver of that Jeep Cherokee hit a utility pole by lower Solstice Park, at 47th SW and SW Webster, and then, police have told dispatch, walked away – though not before giving his name to the SFD crew who arrived to check on him. That name checked to the car’s owner, a Morgan Junction-area resident, according to a radio exchange between officers and dispatch, so police are trying to find him. They’ve also notified Seattle City Light about the pole and called for a tow truck; no other vehicle was reported involved.
9:45 PM: They’ve caught up with the likely suspect a few blocks north.
Thanks to everyone who sent tips and/or pics of this crash (two vehicles reported involved) at 35th SW and SW 106th in Arbor Heights. We’re told it’s blocking northbound 35th right now. No major injuries reported. (The rain is picking up, and expected to get heavier, so take care out there.)
6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Halloween, Friday, October 31, 2025 – watch out for trick-or-treaters tonight! Also note, we “fall back” an hour when Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 am Sunday.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET
The forecast for today: Cloudy, rain expected in pm, wind too, high in the mid-50s. Sunrise will be at 7:52 am; sunset, 5:52 pm.

Emergency repairs continue on the culvert that takes Fauntleroy Creek beneath the short stretch of California SW between the schoolhouse and church, and today they’re digging in the street, so a flagger is helping traffic get through; if you have to travel through there, allot extra time. When last we checked in with Seattle Public Utilities, spokesperson Brad Wong told us work was not expected to conclude before November 7; the no-parking signage in the area has just been updated to potentially run through November 15. This is separate from the culvert-replacement projects that will start next year on 45th SW.

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.
(9:22 am screengrab from SDOT camera looking eastbound)
9:23 AM: Thanks for the tip. A sideways semitruck is blocking the eastbound bridge near the 99 exit.
9:35 AM: Now there’s word of a crash going the other way. We’ve started a separate story.
10:46 AM: As we’ve reported in that separate story, the bridge is now back open both ways.
Earlier:
6:02 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, October 17, 2025.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET

TRANSIT TODAY
Washington State Ferries – WSF has three-boat service on the Triangle Route, with M/V Kittitas, M/V Cathlamet, and M/V Issaquah. Vessel Watch will show you which boat is where; ferry alerts will update with any changes.

Water Taxi – Now on regular West Seattle service, fall/winter schedule, but Metro IS adding extra runs again tonight for the Mariners game. (Though it’s an earlier game this time …) 10 AM UPDATE: Metro says, “The 6:45 p.m. run from Pier 50 will be delayed to ensure that it will be at capacity before sailing. If there are still passengers waiting after the 6:45 run, there will be one additional sailing from Pier 50 — time TBD.”
