I saw one clearing king st southbound. I would describe it as an industrial snowblower with a driver's cab on the back. The spout is very tall. It was spraying the snow over the sidewalks and onto the...

I haven't seen anyone working on the UW Station bus terminal for at least 2 weeks now. Does anyone know why this work has halted? They were making solid progress before they stopped.
