Upcoming open houses to talk about the upcoming Viaduct nine-day closure

They’re not being held in our neighborhood, but if you’re interested in learning more about the impacts from this closure, see the notice from WSDOT about two upcoming open houses:

At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, WSDOT will close the majority of the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct until 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 31, as crews begin demolition of the structure’s south end.

Join us at two open houses – 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 10 in West Seattle and 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 12 in Ballard – to learn more about the upcoming closure, your commute options and how SR 99 will change for drivers when it re-opens. Remarks by Seattle and King County councilmembers and program staff will be made at 6:30 p.m.
