Get out your rulers, the snow has arrived in Seattle

Road crews have had to respond to multiple spinouts, collisions, and stuck vehicles across western Washington. Public officials are urging everyone who can to stay home. They say, if you do need to drive somewhere, be sure to carry emergency supplies and a fully charged phone.

Some vaccination sites have closed; others are encouraging everyone who needs to do so to call and reschedule. The City of Seattle’s Covid-19 testing sites remain open.

The City of Seattle has opened additional emergency shelters, including one at City Hall which will remain open through Monday morning. The Fire Department is providing transportation to those sites for those who need it. If you or someone else needs emergency shelter, call 2-1-1 to find an available bed and transportation to a shelter.
