Updated 1:40 p.m.: Seattle Public Schools sent out the following advisory:
As a precaution for the safety of students and staff, Seattle Public Schools is cancelling all after-school activities today. School will dismiss at the usual times.
Earlier: The latest forecast calls for 1 to 3 inches of snow in Seattle, beginning after 4 p.m. today and changing to rain after midnight. “Our commutes, both morning and evening, attract bad weather it seems,” said KING 5 Meteorologist Rich Marriott. And as we know, those commutes sometimes turn into nightmares.
So the National Weather Service is advising that “people should seriously consider finishing their afternoon commute early today if at all possible.” And Metro Transit is warning folks to plan ahead, considering the likelihood that afternoon and evening bus routes will be disrupted. We’ll keep you updated.
