Seattle is already a great transit city, but the Seattle Transit Measure is the largest expansion of transit service in our city’s history. With these results, we’re only going to get better.

We were previously awarded a Safe Streets for All grant in 2023 to build safer & more accessible crosswalks throughout Seattle. We've completed 12+ of these upgrades, and sent another set of upgrades to contractors for bidding. We will continue building these upgrades in 2027.

We are deeply appreciative of the ongoing leadership of our congressional delegation for their ongoing work to help Seattle secure this and several other federal traffic safety grants in recent years.

Drivers: dark and rainy conditions are harder to travel in. Anticipate people crossing the street, biking, and scooting - even if it's raining. Put the phone down and slow it down so you can see everything happening around you.

Happy Halloween! Please: slow down. Watch out for kids and families trick-or-treating. Note: some local residential streets may be temporarily closed for Trick-or-Streets celebrations. If you must access the street, contact neighbors who will help you get in and out safely.

This project has been a long time coming. Route 40 connects Seattle from Northgate through Fremont, Ballard, and Westlake to downtown. Thanks to your feedback and support, you can enjoy faster and more reliable bus trips, modern streets and better access to transit every day.

The leaves are falling! We need your help to keep sidewalks and drains clear of fallen leaves. It prevents flooding and helps everyone get around. Report flooding and places that need attention from sweepers with the Find It, Fix It app or by emailing [email protected].

Today is National First Responder's Day, recognized with a @MayorofSeattle Proclamation. Our Response Team is there 24/7 to keep Seattle's streets moving. While we hope that you won't need us - if you ever do, we'll be there to help. Thank you to all of our first responders.

It's a fact of life in the PNW: traveling in dark and rainy conditions is a challenge. We urge you to slow down, give yourself extra travel time, and look out for people walking, biking, and rolling. Stay safe & enjoy the season: sdotblog.seattle.gov/2026/10…

BRUCE LEE WAY: last weekend, a commemorative sign honoring Bruce Lee was installed at Hing Hay Park thanks to the advocacy of community members. Here's a look into the making of the sign at SDOT's Sign Shop - where we make the signs you see on every street in Seattle.
