NewResident,

The rarely use the high bridge during the morning commute, the low bridge route is my regular route to work. Most of the time it is wide open.

A little ways after you cross the low-bridge there will be a ramp to the high bridge accessible from the left lane. You will want to follow the ramp up and either merge into 99 NB traffic, or merge with high bridge traffic; you can take 1st Ave S. from here too.

Thanks, Sue! I would definitely rather already be IN that lane when I get on the Bridge.

The “car cross slalom” is the perfect name! made me laugh! People on this forum, I’ve noticed, are very creative with names for things. This and “Hummer Houses”. Very funny!

To get to Delridge, you can take Avalon towards the bridge and make a right at Genessee. Genessee ends at Delridge – make a left and follow it north to the bridge. That’s how I do it on the rare occasion I need to take 99 in the morning, so I don’t have to do what I call the “car cross slalom.”

actually, at the 7-11 on 35th, take a right, down Avalon, then from there take a right under the bridge and get into the left lane, go under the bridge and follow the signs to the lower bridge. If for some reason the lower bridge is closed (there are signs with flashing lights that will alert you) you can go to the upper bridge (the regular bridge)and get off on first stay on first until probably the stadiums, take a left to the waterfront. I hope that helps, and I haven’t gotten you totally confused.

I go to work ridiculously early so I don’t know about backups on 99. But if you want to try some different routes, you could probably take the 1st ave exit off of the bridge and go up to 4th avenue and go north that way. Of course that way offers a lot in the way of lights and possible trains. Or you could take 1st ave up to Spring, no trains but lights galore. I only go as far as King so I’m not sure what traffic looks like past that. Or you could take Alaska along the waterfront up to Spring, not as many lights, and then go up to 4th from there. Hope that helps some.

I really like the idea of getting on the Bridge from Delridge because that way you are already in that lane. However, we are starting out on the north end of 35th (please note: nowhere near the 100s), and I don’t know if that would make sense. If we were to take Delridge, can someone share the best way to get there from 35th and Fauntleroy?

4th Ave and Spring.

[barmargia]

are you heading to 1st Ave? Spokane via the lower bridge does go all the way to 1st. Roughly where are you heading that might help with directions.

We’re a Nissan owner too – well we had 2 of them until I sold mine 1-1/2 years ago. Everyone in my husband’s family back in NJ drives a Nissan. The only thing I’m not very enamored with is that ours (Maxima) says it only takes premium gas. At today’s prices, that’s a bit pricey. Fortunately we only average about 4,000 a year on it since we mostly bus, bike and walk unless we have to.

An old country Preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.

Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table four objects:

– a Bible,

– a Silver Dollar,

– a bottle of Whiskey, and

– a Playboy magazine

“I’ll just hide behind the door,” the old Preacher said to himself. “When he comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which object he picks up. If it’s the Bible, he’s going to be a Preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he’s going to be a Businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he’s going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he’s gonna be a skirt-chasin’ bum.”

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son’s footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.

With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month’s Centerfold.

“Lord have Mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispered, “he’s gonna run for Congress!

I was reading old threads for a little bit and realize this has been discussed before, but I missed the discussion (I wasn’t a member yet).

We take the WS Bridge everyday to the 99 and it does get insanely backed up. I know that it is illegal to cross the solid white line, so I always pass that huge clog of cars and get over to the right lane further up. I feel like people think I’m a jerk for doing this.

My question is: If we were to go under the bridge, using, I guess, Spokane, does that go all the way to 1st Ave.? Is there anyone who goes that way and if so, could you tell me if that commute is any better?

[WSB]

He didn’t cause the trouble, sorry if that wasn’t clear. There was a roaming gang of teenagers throwing rocks at cars and houses, among other things, similar to what happened in Admiral not that long ago.

TheHouse causing trouble in his neighborhood… NO! That’s pretty funny. So, he doesn’t live below the bridge!

As far as cinnamon, I seem to remember her responding to someone looking for a house cleaner a while back. If she wasn’t real, I wonder what became of that because I was pretty sure the person who was seeking the house cleaner was going to use her/him/it. If you are that person, what ever happened?

It seems a lot of people that get on forums are just looking for some extra excitement in their life. I’m like you, Sue. It’s kinda like a bad car accident: even though you don’t want to, you can’t help but look. A lot like reality T.V.

[WSB]

The House is a real person. That much we can vouch for. He was even interviewed in a TV story spinning off the wave of troublemaking in his Westwood neighborhood some months back. And based on other information that we will not describe further here, definitely not the same real person as the person whose accounts have been deleted here.

lowanbeach.. i for one agree with you.. think i will take my dogs for a walk…

[WSB]

The person who was being discussed here has been deleted from all currently existing user accounts because of the post that kicked off a thread titled “My Say,” which was that person clearly trying to pretend they were somebody else. That won’t be tolerated here. I will not allow any registration of anyone from that IP address but of course there’s always a chance they’ll try some other way; please be on the lookout and flag me – this problem already has taken too much time away today from this site’s main purpose, which is to find and present West Seattle news and information.

san.. i will…

and jenv.. they are about 3 and one is only cuddly with us.. but i have hopes that will change. he is such a sweetie.

[san]

JoB- I was hoping someone might be able to fill us both in. Due to the recent police pursuit in LA clogging up the news, I’m having a tough time finding updates. Let me know if you hear anything new! :0)

[JoB]

mystery solved… at least partially…

the next troll.. legitimate or not… will think twice before being so blatant… i hope.

[JoB]

this fantasy almost distracted me from things that are important. Anyone know how my girl is doing in texas?

[JoB]

Vincent.. you are right.. the way to combat this type of behavior is to meet face to face and get to know one another.. and as luck would have it.. another chance for meet up is coming along.

in the meantime.. something about this still isn’t making sense… if stan just made up the name.. how did “he” know so much about latte mom’s life?

and.. exit stan/lattemom.. enter WSMom2…. who by the way sounds just like lattemom??? complete with veiled threats…

and where is theHouse and why is he strangely quiet?

too many mysteries… i wish i cared more.

i don’t know what kind of game is being played here.. but, it is boring… and i for one suggest we stop playing. We have plenty of real things to talk about.

I am going to respond to ideas… speak with anyone respectful.. and hope i meet those who intrigue me soon at a meet up so i can get to know them better.

I may not always be as calm and “wise” as some think me… i do generally think before i post… but i am real… every bit as obnoxious and tiring in flesh as i am online… as a few here can attest:)

The only way i know to combat illusion is with authenticity…

140K! You’re just getting it warmed up!

FYI all – I have just deleted that account after another account popped up approximately 15 minutes ago with a clearly made-up post and the same IP address. No e-mail warning because I doubt any of the e-mail addresses involved are legitimate. I will watch the registrations as closely as I can but PLEASE, if you think this person has popped up again, e-mail me because I have to generate content for the main part of this site and CANNOT hang out on the forums all day and night. Thanks.

[WSB]

Both those users were from the same IP address and that I will not stand for, given the circumstances. So those accounts both have been deleted and anyone else who shows up from that IP address or anything who even seems vaguely related will be deleted as well. I didn’t e-mail a warning because so many different e-mail addresses were associated with them, I suspect they are bogus.

[Anonymous]

Thank you, WSMom. Please don’t think you all have to apologize. I probably would have done the same thing.
