West Seattle starts Veterans Day under cloudy skies, with a high in the mid-60s and sunset arriving at 4:37 p.m. School is out for the holiday, so the morning commute may look a little lighter than usual even as transit service stays on its normal pattern.

Metro buses are on a regular weekday schedule, and the West Seattle Water Taxi is running its fall and winter service. Washington State Ferries has the Triangle Route on a three-boat schedule with Kittitas, Cathlamet and Issaquah. Ferries underway at 11:11 a.m. are also set to sound their whistles in observance of Veterans Day.

Drivers get one holiday break: paid street parking is free in Seattle neighborhoods that normally charge for it.

For anyone checking bridge conditions before heading out, SDOT traffic cameras remain the quickest live look at the high bridge, low bridge and 1st Avenue South Bridge. No major weather disruptions are expected, just a gray November day with limited daylight.
