Some of today’s highlights from the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:

NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTER DEDICATION AND CELEBRATION: Starting at 11:30 am, it’s celebration time at the newly reopened Southwest Pool/Teen Life Center/Neighborhood Service Center building at 2801 SW Thistle – including tours, Zumba, free swimming sessions, and more, starting after the official ribbon-cutting.

PARKS SUPERINTENDENT AT WEST SEATTLE CRIME PREVENTION COUNCIL: Issues of safety and security at city parks arose after last month’s murder of Greggette Guy, believed to have happened at West Seattle’s waterfront Emma Schmitz Viewpoint. Tonight, acting Seattle Parks Superintendent Christopher Williams is the guest at the WS Crime Prevention Council‘s monthly meeting; Southwest Precinct police leadership also will be there as always to discuss the latest crime trends and answer community questions. 7 pm, SW Precinct meeting room (Delridge/Webster).

(added) 4TH “NEW BPP” ANNIVERSARY PARTY & WORLD RELEASE OF CRAIGALICIOUS BLACK LAGER! From Beveridge Place Pub, happening tonight at 7:

Manny, Roger, and the crew of Georgetown Brewing were here at the new location on Day One, and they’ll be back again! Along with their regular lineup, they’re bringing some super special brews just for YOU! How about the world release of Craigalicious Black Lager (served from a CLEAR keg!), a cask of Johnny Utah Session IPA, and bottles of Waldman Belgian Pale!

TAX DAY PROCRASTINATION? HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN GET A POSTMARK BY MIDNIGHT: No West Seattle post office, not even any Seattle post office, is postmarking till midnight tonight, but if you really find yourself in that last-last-minute bind, the Riverton branch north of Sea-Tac Airport will be doing it – here’s a map.
