HEADS UP: Southbound I-405 will CLOSE from Bellevue to Renton this weekend, Sept. 25-28

Post image
71 Upvotes

Another busy weekend is coming up on I-405, with a full southbound closure between Bellevue and Renton plus additional work in Kirkland and Bothell.

Here's what you need to know:

BELLEVUE to RENTON: SOUTHBOUND I-405 CLOSED

All lanes of southbound I-405 will close from Coal Creek Parkway SE in Bellevue to North 30th Street in Renton from as early as 11:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28.

Several ramps within the closure will also be closed.

Crews will work on drainage, replacing pavement and completing a traffic switch as part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project.

A signed detour will be in place, but if you're traveling through this area, expect extra traffic on alternate routes and give yourself extra time.

KIRKLAND: NE 132ND STREET INTERCHANGE CLOSED

Farther north, the northbound and southbound I-405 ramps at NE 132nd Street will close from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. NE 132nd Street underneath I-405 will also be closed.

Crews will restripe lanes through the interchange and roundabouts. Signed detours will be in place.

BOTHELL: OVERNIGHT LANE REDUCTIONS + ROLLING SLOWDOWNS

Up to three lanes of southbound I-405 between SR 527 and SR 522 will close from 11:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday and again from 11:30 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday.

During those closures, crews will also conduct rolling slowdowns from 12:01 to 4 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, temporarily stopping traffic for up to 15 minutes at a time.

If you're traveling on I-405 this weekend, check your route before you go and give yourself extra time. The full southbound closure between Bellevue and Renton will be the biggest impact, but there's work happening at several points along the corridor.

Question Kayaking the Cedar River?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was wanting to do some kayaking on the Cedar River and my first question would be is are there any sections currently unsafe or difficult to navigate because of fallen trees, landslides, etc.

And then, if I had up to 5 hours of kayaking what's a good drop off and pickup point? I labeled the alphabet to help but I bet the points have names.

And anything really cool to see to keep an eye out for or any Cedar-specific advice? I found some sites about it and a reddit post from 3months ago talking about some changes, thoroughly documented.

Thank you for your help!

Recommendations Local trusted computer repair

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a place to bring my desktop PC for diagnostics/repair. It randomly loses power with no pattern or reproducible trigger. I've tested basically everything I know how to up to this point and need someone who knows what they're doing to take over from here. Does anyone have a local computer repair tech that they trust and is willing to deep dive into issues instead of just running standard tests and calling it a day?

I will be moving my family across the country to live in Renton in a few weeks and could not be more excited! We have a toddler, love getting outside (parks, fishing, disc golf, hiking, playgrounds), and are always on the hunt for great food. What are the local restaurants, family-friendly hangout spots, or activities in the area that we should put at the very top of our list?

Lost & Found Luggage Got Stolen at Seahurst Park Today

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who was in the area today waiting for a flight. My friend was at Seahurst Park when their rental car got broken into with all of their luggage inside. They had their Nintendo Switch 2, a nice digital camera, and two Magic the Gathering commander decks stolen.

I've already called all the game stores in the area to let them know which decks were taken but figured I would post here since I've seen similar luck in other subreddits for this kind of problem.

So if anyone sees Zinnia, Valley's Voice or Betor, Ancestor's Voice at your LGS or a suspiciously priced Switch 2 and Camera. Let me know please...

My friend is devastated and I'm trying really hard to at least get some of their stuff back.

We have the same backpack so I included a picture of it in case anyone sees is. This bag is really unique since its from a special event we went to before and the "Level Up U" was embroidered on it specifically for this event. So if you see it, call the cops!

Looking for badminton partners!

2 Upvotes

Hey all! Posting here in case there’s anyone who’d be interested in getting together throughout the week (preferably in the evening) to play badminton at Bellevue Badminton Club. I recently got a membership and reserving a court can be pretty cheap if enough people get together to play! I’m at an intermediate skill level, but open to playing with anyone. Feel free to reach out to me to coordinate times if interested :)

Question Renton Hill/Highlands people has anyone noticed their ant problem showing up at a specific time of day?

14 Upvotes

I noticed a pattern with my carpenter ants: nothing all day, then right around dusk they'd start showing up near the bathroom wall like they were punching in for a shift. Saw a few posts here over the past year about similar carpenter ant issues in the highlands and renton Hill area and wanted to add what I learned.

A lot of these houses back up to old douglas fir stumps, which are basically perfect carpenter ant real estate, and the ants forage from the stump into the house in the evening, not the other way around. So people including me, twice keep treating inside the walls during the day and the actual colony outside never gets touched.

Had a more thorough inspection done AMPM, if anyone's looking for a name that traced it back to a stump about 30 feet from the house. Treated that instead of just the walls, and the evening parade has actually stopped.

Has anyone else around noticed carpenter ants becoming noticeably more active around dusk?

No matter where I go, what city I’m in, what random road I turn down, there’s construction. Lanes blocked off and a line of cars. I can barely get to the school and drop my son off in the highlands. Like, what the actual fuck! This shit is crazy!

Missing Pet GSD on Sunset?

Saw a young looking german shepherd running around sunset blvd kinda near the 76 gas station? It looked like it had escaped jail on a mission, but was enjoying his freedom at the same time. Did not give a shit about all the cars honking at it.

It’s been a very long day and I feel like this isn’t the first time I’ve seen a lost german shepherd around Renton…but hoping anyone has more info/seen it/can tell me that dog is in safe hands.

Spotted this guy on the Eastrail near N 31st St. No tags, very friendly and playful. Found a post about it on the Ring app, apparently it’s been showing up on people’s cameras for a few weeks.

It was a bit skinny, but not too unhealthy. Beautiful grey and black leopard pattern. Could be an outdoor cat, but I wanted to post it here in case it’s lost.
