Winter Weather and Driving Information

During winter weather events, crews work around the clock to clear priority routes first, and then address side streets as conditions allow. View Mercer Island's Snow and Ice Response Page with plow routes and other important information

Wondering about delayed garbage & recycling collection?

Visit the National Weather Service's Mercer Island page for an up-to-date weather forecast.

Visit King County Metro's Snow, Flood & Ice Alerts Page for updates on bus routes.

Drivers who get stuck in snow or ice should not abandon their vehicles in an area that would block traffic, as those vehicles will be towed. If, after a storm, your vehicle isn't where you left it, call the Mercer Island Police Department’s non-emergency line at 425-577-5656.
