• Posted Natural Gas Leak on Terry Avenue, Downtown to Seattlest
  As of 1:57 p.m., five emergency units started rolling to 1823 Terry Avenue to deal with a natural gas leak.

UPDATE: We hear they haven't managed to get the gas line shut off yet, so this may take a while. Sounds like Stewart is closed between 9th and Boren. UPDATE: And they're un-evacuating. Whew! However, the street is still closed, and emergency crews are still bustling about. UPDATE: Stewart is open again!
