The City Budget Office today released their latest economic forecasts and revenue projections for Seattle. Understanding there is significant uncertainty nationally and locally on the economic impacts, the City of Seattle’s Budget Office today announced two economic scenarios for a rapid recovery scenario and a slow recovery scenario. Both scenarios highlight significant job loss, high unemployment and impacts to the City budget which range from $210 million to $300 million. You can view the City Budget Office forecasts, which will be presented to City Council here.
SDOT Director Sam Zimbabwe will be presenting, and available for your questions.
You can sign up to participate here; you’ll receive the link to the meeting an hour or so before it begins.
The closure of the West Seatle Bridge on March 23 did not prevent the bridge from failing. Even with the "live load" removed the angular shear cracks have continued to grow according to the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), although at a slower pace. While they believe that "The bridge remains stable," as they stated in a blog post last week they are making contingency plans to meet a variety of worst case scenarios. They were widely criticized in the immediate aftermath of the closure for having no apparent plans in place, but in fairness the situation developed at a far more rapid pace than anyone expected.

I don't know where he found it but number five son Scott Anthony somehow discovered a bruised and battered two door Chevy sedan someone had left to die.
It was on it's side in a field near the airport flight path. With some of his teenage friends he got it on its wheels and managed to pull it with a chain and some luck up to our house.
He then came, muddy and merrily, into the house with the announcement that he and I could restore it and I would not have to help him buy a car for his 16th birthday.
He then tugged me outside to look at his muddy discovery.
I had built lots of things for the kids but had never tried to restore a battered, mud-covered mother-of-all-discards.
"I am going to make this baby sparkle by my birthday," he grinned, "But I could use a little help."
....There goes my golf match.
