Seattle King

A motorcyclist was severely injured in a three vehicle accident at the intersection of Belmont and Bellevue Pl this afternoon. Eyewitnesses report the female rider had a badly injured leg as a result of the crash with a Toyota Prius and a 1974 Ford Maverick. At the time of the accident, late afternoon sun made visibility low at the intersection and, eyewitnesses said, may have contributed to the crash.

Coming this July, the Seattle to Tukwilla stretch of the Light Rail will begin servicing while the full stretch, from Seattle to Seatac Airport, opens at the end of this year.

The hope and plans for this light rail will alleviate congestion on I-5 with a maximum fare charge of $2.75 to go from Tukwilla into Seattle. The fare system still has yet to be finalized, but this is the current plan.

Seattle to University of Washington stretch will break ground later this month. Once that stretch begins service, the rail will be cluttered with commuting students as buses from all directions are already full of them.

Thankfully, voters back in November approved the project to extend the light rail even further. This includes Redmond, Lynwood, and Federal Way. Granted these portions of the project are far from realization, the benefits once completed will show immediately which includes helping 520’s congestion.

Kay Rood was perfectly happy living and working in a house on Broadway: you've surely walked past, and maybe patronized her frame shop there. You may also recall all her efforts on behalf of Cal Anderson Park.

Then along came Sound Transit and bought up her house/business as part of the Capitol Hill Station site.

She spent many long months searching for a suitable live-work site. Live-work is a trendy concept these days, but usually in the context of artists, etc, not services that require significant space for customer-oriented businesses.

She's now found a place that suits her needs ( 5954 - 31st Avenue SW) and is back in business. Check out her website, or give her a call ( 206-324-9118) if you need something framed.
