Metro has announced the return of regular routing for the city’s most circuitous bus, the 25:

Beginning immediately, Route 25 has resumed regular service along E Roanoke St between West Montlake Pl E and East Montlake Pl at all times.

The 25 was detoured for months during utility construction along Roanoke, sending buses through residential streets and deep into Middle Earth to get around the mess. All is now normal again.
