Montlake Market Property Q&A from November meeting published

Thank you to all who attended our Nov. 7, 2018, public meeting regarding the Montlake Market. We received many questions from the community that night, and in the following weeks, about the SR 520 Montlake Project and how our construction might affect the market. We’ve compiled those questions and answered them in our latest Montlake Market Property Q&A document, which you can find online.

How to reach us and stay informed about SR 520 construction:

• Call the SR 520 information line (206-770-3554) with questions or concerns.
• Email SR 520 staff with your questions about the project or construction activities.
• Visit the SR 520 Orange Page for the most up-to-date information on closures and construction impacts.
• Visit the SR 520 Program website to find general information about the project.
• Follow us on Twitter @wsdot_520 to get key news and updates about the SR 520 program.

Call if you can, text if you can’t

Text-to-9-1-1 is a new service in King County that will help those who are deaf, hard of hearing, speech impaired, and anyone who might be unsafe if they were to be heard by an intruder or abusive partner. While texting to 9-1-1 is a vital tool that increases accessibility to emergency services, the preferred method for those who can speak is to call.

If you do need to text 9-1-1 in an emergency:

• Open the text messaging program on your cell phone
• Create a new message
• Enter the numbers 911 in the “To” field
• Send the location of the emergency – including the city – and the type of emergency help needed – police, fire, or medical – in the first message
• Keep text messages brief and concise
• Type complete words, no abbreviation
• Stay with your phone and be prepared to answer questions and follow instructions from 9-1-1 call takers

There are limitations to text-to-9-1-1 including:

• The system can only receive text, no pictures, videos, or emojis
• Texts to 9-1-1 are treated like all other texts, there is no priority
• Texting can be slower than making a voice call
• The system can only respond to texts in English

Please help keep 9-1-1 available for those who need it. Do not send test texts. Text-to-9-1-1 is not for anonymous tips.
