WEST SEATTLE SUNDAY: 20 notes!

(Saturday sunset, photographed by Sam Verbon)

March is here! We start with a traffic alert from WSDOT, for those heading off-peninsula:

From 6 a.m. until 11 a.m. (today) all lanes of northbound State Route 99, the left lane of southbound SR 99 between Harrison and North 50th streets, as well as the southbound SR 99 off-ramp to Harrison Street, will close for the Hot Chocolate Run in Seattle. People traveling SR 99 should also continue to expect delays on northbound SR 99 over the First Avenue South bridge south of downtown Seattle, where two right lanes remain closed until further notice following a bridge inspection on Wednesday, Feb. 18. A temporary speed reduction to 25 mph remains in effect. This comes on top of existing lane reductions on northbound I-5 as part of the Revive I-5 program to preserve the Ship Canal Bridge.
