TRAFFIC CAMS, WEATHER, TRANSIT, ROAD WORK: Wednesday watch, with heat alert
6:02 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
The Heat Advisory alert is in effect until 10 tonight. Today’s high is expected to reach the upper 80s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:29 am; sunset will be at 9:02 pm.
TRANSIT TODAY
Metro buses – On regular schedule and routes today.
Washington State Ferries – WSF has resumed 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.
Water Taxi – Regular West Seattle service; summer schedule, with later runs on Friday and Saturday nights, and on weeknights with Mariners home games (and certain special events).
ROAD WORK
-Three weeks of major nighttime work ahead on and around 16th SW in White Center start today – details here.
-Admiral Bridge work continues, with both directions now carried on the south side instead of the north side; SDOT still will not estimate a completion date other than “summer.”
PARKING ALERT FOR THURSDAY
Reader tells us signage at Don Armeni Boat Ramp says no parking Thursday after 11 am. We’re still seeking official info; another reader believes it’s a film shoot.
EARLY WEEKEND ALERT
The West Seattle Grand Parade and Float Dodger 5K on Saturday (July 19) mean parking restrictions and road closures on and near California SW from Admiral to south of Edmunds. Heed the signs – they tow on parade morning if necessary! There will be bus reroutes Saturday too.
