Holiday Waste Collection Dates & Ideas

Seattle Public Utilities has reported that solid waste collections will be done on a normal schedule on Mondays, Dec 24th & Dec 31st, but those with collections every other day that week will be delayed one day. Also Waste Management has asked everyone to ‘Think Green’ this season, and lessen the trash created through holiday celebrations.

Final Push For Seismic Work Completion on Aurora Bridge

Steel and concrete work has finished on the State Route 99 George Washington Memorial Bridge, a.k.a. the Aurora Bridge, and repairs to three specially designed expansion joints (see a photo on Flickr) has nearly done. All the current seismic repairs, begun in June 2011, has better prepared the structure in the event of an earthquake. Between Oct. 1st and Oct. 15th, 2012, crews will close lanes both day and night to chip out the expansion joints and add new bearings and new wedges underneath the joints.
