information from the City of Seattle

The City of Seattle and UW Medicine have partnered to create long-term COVID-19 testing availability at the City’s Rainier Beach and West Seattle Vaccination Hubs. UW Medicine has sited COVID-19 testing trailers at each hub, with appointments available immediately. These are self-swab tests where the patient conducts their own COVID-19 test under observation from a health care professional. Results are provided by UW Medicine within 24-48 hours. 

The Fauntleroy Community Association has shared an open letter regarding the plan to replace the aging Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal.

To Whom It May Concern;

The King County Water Taxis West Seattle route will be in service on a reduced sailing schedule on Monday, May 31 in observation of Memorial Day. Please see departure times below. Slower crossings will allow for better photo opportunities of the scenic area and Seattle skyline. Open air decks are available on all crossings. The West Seattle route returns to regular weekday service on Tuesday, June 1. For the water taxi's sailing schedule, please visit the water taxi homepage.

District 1 Citycouncilmember Lisa Herbold shared this update in her newsletter to her constituents:

Over the past several months, I have been in communication with a number of concerned residents, business owners, and workers about an encampment obstructing the sidewalks on SW Delridge near 16th.  As of this week, most residents have accepted referrals into safe shelters from CoLEAD, or agreed to move their tents.   SPU has worked to clear away debris and arrange for the sidewalk to be cleaned.
