King County鈥檚 gun buyback program becomes permanent

The King County Council on Tuesday approved a proposal to create a permanent voluntary safe firearm and ammunition return program within the King County Sheriff’s Office.

The program will enable any person to take an unwanted firearm, or ammunition, to any precinct office or storefront operated by the King County Sheriff鈥檚 office, including in the 10 contract cities where it provides police services.

SDOT plans short-term closures of bridges to prevent steel expansion from heat

The heat will mean some short closures of Seattle’s University, Fremont, and Ballard bridges this week.

High heat can also cause steel to expand, which can affect the bridges’ ability to raise and lower for boat traffic.

When SDOT sprays down the bridges, they close each bridge for a few minutes multiple times throughout the day. To ensure the water is safe for the environment, they also add a small amount of vitamin C to neutralize the chlorine in the water.
