Many things are closed or not happening this morning. They include:
- Schools.
- Garbage, yard waste and recycling pickup.
- All libraries, until 1 p.m.
- Planes – flight crews are having trouble getting to the airport. Call first!
- Many park programs.
- The University of Washington.
- Many bus routes.
