Heads up, commuters — the 6:20 AM ferry from Bremerton is CANCELLED this morning due to a crew shortage on the Kaleetan. Next boat out of Seattle is the 7:35 AM. Plan accordingly if you connect through Colman Dock.
SR-3 and Gorst are clear this morning — no active closures. WSDOT has started early utility work with nighttime lane closures on SR-3 and SR-16 ahead of the big fish barrier project this spring, but nothing is hitting your morning drive yet.
Weather is on your side: sunny, mid-50s, light north wind. Safe travels out there.
