This summer, the City of Seattle opened Lake Washington Bouleveard to people walking, biking, running, and playing, as well as local access for vehicles. These "Stay Healthy Streets" and "Keep Moving Streets" have been a lifeline for safe and socially-distant recreation. Now SDOT has announced that Lake Washington Boulevard will revert to vehicle traffic, starting Monday October 5, 2020.
Your voice matters! Tell the city to keep Lake Washington Blvd open for walking, biking, and rolling on weekends. Sign the petition at www.stayhealthystreets.org/LWB
