As a precaution, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has closed Lake Washington Boulevard between Lake Park Drive S and 43rd Ave S due to slope stability issues at a nearby private property. To bypass the closed section, a detour route has been established using Hunter Blvd S and S Genesee St, and King County Metro Transit will use this detour to avoid bus service interruption.
The road will remain closed overnight and the property will be reassessed in morning once there is daylight.
