Amidst all the construction and Honey Buckets on the Broadway mixed-used development and plaza just above the Capitol Hill Link station, public art is quietly blooming.
As part of the AIDS Memorial Pathway (AMP) project, last December saw the installation of the poet and interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber s In This Way We Loved One Another inside the Community Roots Housing’s Station House. Fashioned as a tribute to the missing narratives of women and Black people lost to the AIDS crisis, the installation is viewable to the public from the street on E John.

This is not the news people in West Seattle want to hear, but another route in and out of the community is now facing lane closures. This time it’s the First Avenue South Bridge.
The southbound lanes of the First Avenue South Bridge, or Highway 99, will face lane closures over the next few weeks. The closures begin in a week. Workers need to replace the bearing pads on the bridge.
“Last fall, when we were inspecting the SR 99/Duwamish River Bridge, we found that some pads that girders rest on were worn out and needed to be replaced,” said Tom Pearce with the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Questions are now being raised about the process by which exemptions are granted use the lower bridge without fear of getting a $75 ticket for an unauthorized crossing. Photo enforcement were turned on.
