Living on an island can be a pain!

There has been an accident on the bridge and it will be closed until at least 4pm maybe later. We are down people at work because they can't get on the island and to drive around and take the ferry might take longer than the bridge will be closed. Work is crazy because people who couldn't leave decided to shop here instead. At least it's making time go by quickly.

This is really stupid of me, considering I'm a native Washingtonian, but I never knew there was a bridge. I always thought it was ferry only.

I hope things get resolved soon!

There is a bridge that leads to the Kitsap peninsula. It was a fatality so it will be a long wait for people to get home.

It wasn't a fatality after all but the bridge was closed for almost 3 hours. They opened 1 lane to traffic just before 4 and then it was fully open at about 4:30.

I just found out that an old family friend was one of the drivers airlifed to Harborview. Any t&p y'all can spare for her would be appreciated. She is very lucky to be alive.

Sending T&Ps to her and the rest of the people involved. I also hope that they find the person that witnesses said was the reason that caused the older gentleman swerved in the first place.
