Update 6:45AM Tuesday 

Most of the snow related power outages are now resolved with only a few pockets of outages remaining in West Seattle and Burien. Crews worked through the night to repair downed power lines caused by rain weighted snow, knocking down trees. The remaining outages were expected to be resolved before 12 noon today.

Update 7:20pm Monday

Power outages spread across the west side of the area as rain weighed down already snow laden branches and power lines were affected. An additional 3900 City Light Customers were affected in Burien and point east as of 6:40pm. City Light crews were dispatched to investigate but no time of potential restoration was announced.

Information from King County Metro

King County Executive Dow Constantine today directed Metro to restore most of its bus service and shift operations to snow routes starting Wednesday, Feb. 13. This will allow Metro to switch from operating its core Emergency Snow Network (ESN) and expand to providing service on at least 90 percent of routes across King County. Road conditions will be evaluated as Metro repairs and restores its fleet and ramps back up to full service in the coming days.

Seattle Parks and Recreation is holding a public meeting and will present the preliminary design and gather community input on repairs to the seawall at Lowman Beach Park on Beach Drive SW.

The Lowman Beach Park seawall is failing and needs to be removed. As visitors to the park have seen, the existing seawall is slowly falling over/sliding towards the water. It is Seattle Parks and Recreation's goal to remove the remaining seawall and continue the shoreline restoration work that began when the south half of the seawall failed in the mid-1990s.
