Happening tonight: 2 councils, plus your Park Levy $ ideas

May 6, 2009 at 7:39 am | In Delridge, Southwest District Council, West Seattle parks | 17 Comments

Here’s hoping you feel more like the osprey in Alkimac‘s photo today than the crow – unless you prefer to be the scrappy outsider! Anyway, once your great Wednesday is in the books, here are tonight’s highlights for how to make a difference in your neighborhood (and beyond):

NORTH DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL: 6:30 pm, Delridge Library. Discussion is certain to include the big Delridge Community Center playground breakthrough reported here earlier this week.

SOUTHWEST DISTRICT COUNCIL: 7 pm, South Seattle Community College board room. Agenda includes a presentation on the changes ahead (reported here three weeks ago) in the Restricted Parking Zone program (here’s the city’s official page).

PARK LEVY $ AND HOW YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE SPENT: 7 pm, West Seattle Golf Course. Not all of the money in last fall’s Parks and Green Spaces Levy was earmarked for certain projects, so the city’s going into neighborhoods to talk about the possibilities (as well as the already-set projects).

  1. AWESOME photo, alkimac!! i was surprised to see how many osprey there seem to be in the area. i don’t remember seeing them at all 20 years ago. but now, i kayaked up the duwamish and they have some huge nests in the light fixtures of the industrial areas near kellog island. very cool!

  13. Wow, what a great photo. Any chance of it being made available somewhere at a higher resolution? Does Alkimac have a web page or something?

  14. Indeed, but not Alkimac

    I snapped this photo from my front yard on Alki Point. It was amazing to see the crows trying to steal the salmon from the osprey.

    Cheers!
