Recycling truck gets stuck in West Seattle sinkhole

This browser does not support the video element.

The sinkhole isn't far from where a hillside collapsed in West Seattle last week, forcing Highland Park Way Southwest to be shut down for days.

The sinkhole is on a dead end road on a neighborhood street, but for people who use the route regularly, it may be a few days before the road is fully repaired.

The Seattle region has taken a beating with rain over the past month. This February has already slipped into the top six wettest in Seattle weather history.

KIRO 7 PinPoint Meteorologists report that the monthly total at Sea-Tac Airport stands at 8.06” coming into Monday. The record is 9.11” in February of 1961.
