mayjuneMemberI’m also taking people to the airport at 5 tomorrow. But we drove down to the southend today, and as soon as we got off our neighborhood side streets everything was fine — clear and dry.

transplantellaParticipantThe 560 was running today. I saw it go by several times.

BayouMemberAim, those are basically my only two options as well.
Mayjune, could you clarify where you drove today in the southend that was clear? Thanks!

WSMomParticipantDrove my parents up to the RiteAid parking lot and waited 5 minutes for the 560. Mom says the bus is nice and warm and she’s happy to not be in my car worrying about black ice. Dad says the bus doesn’t feel like it has chains on (it doesn’t, I checked), but it’s handling the road without slipping. I felt guilty at first suggesting to “put them on the bus”, but now I know I made the right choice. Sound Transit came through!!

mayjuneMemberWe drove down to downtown Kent and the IKEA/Southcenter areas. I-5 seems totally fine (to me) too. I also drove down to the airport this morning without any problems. Had I not left my house in the last two days, I think I would feel like the situation is way worse than it actually is — our residential streets are really icy, and there’s still lots of snow around. But as soon as I get on 35th or Fauntleroy I’ve had no problems driving, and the streets are pretty dry. And the places I’ve been outside of WS seem like they didn’t get nearly as much of a storm.

victoryMemberWe are in the Admiral District of West Seattle. With more snow forecast, we are wondering if anyone knows a way into Pigeon Point that would be the best to go if things get icy again. We need to get to the end (almost above the viaduct) each day. We have to consider we may not be able to get down Admiral either way. We thought we might have to take California Ave & turn at Thriftway and go down HomeDepo road or something. Any ideas are most appreciated.

GenHillOneParticipantJoB, last I heard, snow coming after midnight, so you should be okay on that front. They’re always our babies ;)

carrieannMemberWe’re at 42nd and Andover, and our street finally thawed out in today’s sunshine, with only a few patches of ice left. But it was a massive ice rink, and even this morning I watched a delivery truck slip and slide down the steep incline of Andover (between 41st & 42nd) before turning left onto 42nd.
Westwood Village Target had only a few snow shovels left when I was there at noon today.

WSBKeymasterBeen posting this in the home page thread but I just took a tour of major WS/WC roads, from the WC business district north to Seacrest, and the majors are all in good shape, plus some formerly dicey ones like Morgan hill between 35th and Thriftway, BUT after dark will be a different matter – lots of wet roads that will refreeze.

CaitParticipantDoes anyone know what the parking lots in the junction are looking like? I’m meeting a friend at West 5 in half an hour and I don’t want to be too surprised :(
