4:02 PM: While we’re talking traffic, you’ve probably heard that Vice President Kamala Harris is headed to Seattle. Citywide media says she’s leaving Albuquerque and heading here; listed flight-duration times suggest an arrival after 6:30 pm. Her destination airport is reported to be nearby Boeing Field. Depending on where she goes from there, if you’re driving at that time, you might encounter temporary freeway shutdowns for her motorcade. She’s due to have at least one public and one private event tomorrow; any information that becomes available in advance, we’ll add here and include in our traffic-info roundup tomorrow.
4:49 PM: The vice president is reported to have left Albuquerque around 4:30, so her arrival here will probably be closer to 7:30.
6:32 PM: She’s actually just arrived. (And the I-5 traffic cameras have all been taken offline.)
8:07 PM: According to the NW Progressive Institute via Twitter, “Tomorrow Harris has two announced events: an appearance with U.S. Sen. Patty] Murray at Lumen Field to highlight investments in clean school buses and another appearance with Murray at a fundraising event (Showbox Market). The VP will then depart Seattle around 1:50 PM Pacific, before the rush.”
2:43 PM: For the third time in four days, there’s a crash blocking lanes on the westbound West Seattle Bridge at the spot where it meets the ramp from southbound Highway 99. The other two happened on Saturday – morning (involving a Metro bus) and afternoon.
3:27 PM: Tow truck has just taken a damaged vehicle away. (The scene was fully cleared shortly afterward.)
5:25 PM: As commenters are pointing out, there’s yet another crash in that spot – here’s the SDOT camera image:
6:17 PM: That scene is clear.
1:47 PM: Thanks for the tip – just heard a dispatch on this, too. A tree has fallen on the southbound lanes of West Marginal Way SW in the 4800 block, described by our tipster as “right before you get to the Alaska Marine Lines complex.” Police are on scene and SDOT is being sent. No damage or injuries reported.
3:31 PM: No confirmation on whether it’s cleared but the video camera at West Marginal/Highland Park Way shows traffic is coming through from that area.
7:19 AM: SFD is responding to an incident at 35th/Avalon.
7:40 AM: Texter says a police response is blocking 26th between Brandon and Findlay.
8:21 AM: This was a warrant service, and not the only one around the area. We are following up.

4:51 PM: Thanks for the tip. Two lanes on the West Seattle Bridge are blocked by a crash in the same spot as this morning’s bus crash, westbound side by the onramp from SB 99.
5:15 PM: SDOT says this crash has cleared.
(SDOT image via Twitter)
9:10 AM: Thanks for the tips. Westbound traffic on the West Seattle Bridge is backing up because of a crash that has left a Metro bus sideways across two lanes of the bridge, just west of Highway 99.
9:34 AM: All westbound lanes are now blocked, as well as the ramp from southbound 99 to the bridge, with a Metro tow truck on scene. We’re checking with SFD re: injuries.
9:56 AM: They’ve just pulled the damaged bus to the side and reopened the westbound bridge to traffic. The onramp from 99 still appears blocked (per the live-video camera on the SDOT map).
10:50 AM: The bus was just towed and now the onramp has reopened too.
1:31 PM: SFD tells WSB that the bus driver, a ~50-year-old man, was taken to the hospital via AMR ambulance, in stable condition when transported.
2:16 PM: Here’s what Metro spokesperson Jeff Switzer tells WSB about the crash: “Based on preliminary information, a Route 50 bus was traveling from First Avenue South to the westbound West Seattle Bridge about 8:50 a.m. when, as they were merging, they corrected to avoid a vehicle and collided with the bridge right-hand barrier. The bus driver reportedly has minor hand and leg injuries. Initial reports were that there were four riders on board at the time had no reported injuries and were picked up by a passing RapidRide C Line bus. Seattle Police and Seattle Fire responded. I’ve since been in touch with two passengers who were seeking evaluation for what sound like minor injuries.”
6:02 AM: Good morning. It’s Friday, October 21st.
WEATHER
Rainy and chilly today, and the high temperature might not even hit 50.

(Latest image from ‘live’ SDOT camera atop the bridge)
Just received from SDOT:
Westbound lanes on West Seattle Bridge closed Wednesday overnight for overhead signage adjustment
Overnight on Wednesday, October 19 to early morning Thursday, October 20 we will be closing all westbound lanes on the West Seattle Bridge to allow crews to complete overhead sign adjustment work. Once work is complete, all westbound travel lanes on the bridge will be restored. A signed detour route, directing travelers across the Spokane St Swing Bridge (low bridge) will be in place during the closure.
We will also be conducting single lane closures on the westbound lanes overnight tonight (and Tuesday night). These closures are also being conducted as part of the signage adjustment work.
No exact hours for any of the above yet – we might not get those until tomorrow, but we’ll update when we do, and we’ll include reminders (as we do with all announced road work/closures) in our first-thing-in-the-morning traffic roundups.
P.S. Tonight marks exactly one month since the bridge reopened.
ADDED TUESDAY AFTERNOON: SDOT says this has been canceled and will be rescheduled, possibly for next week.
