Yesterday, May 18, was International Day for Women in Maritime. We’re proud to honor the women who keep our ferry system running... aboard our vessels, in terminals, at our warehouse, maintenance facility and headquarters. They lead, innovate and inspire every day.

Happy 520 DAY! (Get it?! 5/20 😅) We’re throwing it way back to the archives with this vintage shot of the Evergreen Point toll plaza — giving major bell bottoms and exact change energy. Our best guess: mid-to-late ’70s. ✨🪩

Who wore it best? OK trick question — the vest is just the uniform. It’s the folks behind the scenes turning plans into reality: better sidewalks, new trails, safer bridges. On #PublicWorksWeek, thanks to all the crews (the whole village!) building spaces that bring us together.

Is that...? Bah gawd! That's Paint Map's music! THEY'RE BAAAACK. It's Memorial Day Weekend, so expect heavy traffic everywhere. While we pause most of our road work during the holiday weekend, you should expect delays because there's (gestures broadly) a LOT happening.

📸Did you know? Even with the Bagley Viewpoint construction cam offline for a bit (vandalism 😑), you can still catch Portage Bay progress from 3 live cams — and today’s pretty views even include the mountains.🏔️ 🔖Bookmark-worthy link here: bit.ly/PortageBayCame…

Good morning! 🚧 Crews are back at it on the west side of Montlake Blvd near SR 520 to prep a temporary access road for the Portage Bay Project. 📅WED - FRI, during daytime: one SB lane & the west sidewalk are closed. ✅ WB 520 is open 🚶‍♀️ Walkers/bikers: Use the east sidewalk!

Seasonal depression who? 🌞A neighbor sent us this stunner pic of our SR 520 + nature and it cured us a little. 🌇 It’s the warmest day of the year in the PNW and sunset hits at 8:56 p.m. (thx, Google). Consider this your sign. You know what to do!

🎤Oops, we did it again. #ThrowbackThursday to 1963, when SR 520 set the record for longest floating bridge. Then, we beat it in 2016. Sometimes your only competition is… you. 📷Vintage photo courtesy of Jet Lowe, National Park Service.

Roadwork on Montlake Blvd E at E Hamlin St blocking the SB right lane. Use caution.
