TRAFFIC, WEATHER, TRANSIT, ROAD WORK: Tuesday info, with heat alert ahead
6:01 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Noon today is when the Heat Advisory alert kicks in. Today is expected to be sunny, high in the 80s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:27 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
-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.”
-Three weeks of major nighttime work ahead on and around 16th SW in White Center start tomorrow – details here.
-One last reminder that 16th SW speed cushions have been installed near Cloverdale and near Trenton; here’s our story on what else is on the way.
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 Edmunds. Heed the signs – they tow on parade morning if necessary!
