Metro Transit services eased West Seattleites
The West Seattle Bridge was closed early this morning due to a fatality traffic accident and subsequent police investigation. Because the bridge was closed well through the morning commute, traffic back-ups were extreme and many commuters sought to leave their cars at home. Most morning trips on the 149-passenger Elliott Bay Water Taxi were full, and Argosy Cruises added one extra run with a larger boat to handle the additional passengers. An extra trip will be added for this today’s return sailings back to Seacrest Dock in West Seattle. The fare is $3. The Water Taxi will leave Pier 55 in Seattle at the following times this afternoon:
1: 30 p.m. Bus passengers can visit Metro’s online trip planner to explore their commute options back to West Seattle this afternoon.
