Sinking in

The sinkhole that closed the north entrance to Magnuson Park, at Northeast 74th Street and Sand Point Way Northeast, has been refilled with concrete. The entrance was to remain closed until Thursday, Jan. 10, depending on how quickly the cement cures. The Seattle Department of Transportation closed the entrance last Friday, Jan. 4, after the sinkhole - which was 6 inches deep and 15 by 20 feet - was discovered. Park visitors are detoured to the Northeast 65th Street entrance.[[In-content Ad]]
