Monday hit 86 degrees, and today we're looking at a high around 80 with plenty of sunshine. Enjoy those long Seattle evenings, with sunset holding strong at 9:11 pm until June 30, but watch for hazards! Eric reported a 'moderately large branch' blocking an uphill lane near the water taxi, and more up the hill. Metro buses are on a regular weekday schedule, and the West Seattle Water Taxi is on its regular summer schedule with extra runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, including later-night service. Good news for ferry commuters: the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route is back to its regular three-boat schedule. Plus, city cameras are back with updating-framegrab on the SDOT map, so check the High Bridge and Low Bridge before you roll out. Stay safe out there!
