Be mindful of your commute this week. We just received the following message from the Seattle Department of Transportation:

"Street paving crews from the Seattle Department of Transportation plan to repair street pavement on 15th Avenue Northwest just north of Northwest 65th Street from Wednesday, Jan. 16 to Friday Jan. 18, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. At least one lane in each direction will remain open. Drivers should expect congestion and allow extra time or use an alternate route."
