West Seattle Monday: Lincoln Park zipline; NDNC at skatepark; SSCC hosts Second Lady at Boeing Field…


“A small piece of guerrilla art that should be appreciated” is how Laura describes the flags you see in the photo she shared – maybe 100 or so, each one reading simply “LOVE,” placed at Luna (Anchor) Park on Duwamish Head. Anyone know the story? Let us know! Meantime, after a stunning sunset and a thunderous night … a busy day ahead. Here’s what’s on the schedule:

WONDERING ABOUT THE BRIDGES? NO PLANNED CLOSURES THIS WEEK! The master list of regional closures – see it here (scroll way down to “West Seattle”) has nothing for 99 *or* the Spokane Street Viaduct this week. (Just the West Seattle Summer Fest closures in The Junction from Thursday night till Sunday night.)

WEST SEATTLE COOKING CLUB: This week’s theme, “15 Minutes or Less” – though the meeting will likely last longer! – bring your easy-to-make creation to Beveridge Place Pub (6413 California SW) at 3 pm.

DR. JILL BIDEN VISITS SSCC FACILITY AT BOEING FIELD: South Seattle Community College‘s aerospace facility at Boeing Field gets a high-ranking visitor today. It’s not a public event, but here’s the announcement, as an FYI:

Dr. Jill Biden, Second Lady of the United States, is visiting Seattle as part of a national Community College to Career tour, highlighting successful industry partnerships that are preparing students to succeed in the workforce. Dr. Biden, a longtime educator and community college teacher, will join Seattle Community College leaders, industry leaders in aviation-aerospace, maritime and manufacturing, along with successful graduates, in a roundtable discussion about jobs in our region.

Her event at 4:30 pm is scheduled while her husband, Vice President Joe Biden, is in Seattle for a Sen. Maria Cantwell fundraiser at the Westin downtown.

LINCOLN PARK ZIPLINE OPPONENTS’ INFORMAL MEETING: With the first public presentation of the Seattle Parks/Go Ape proposal (first reported here June 28th) planned at Tuesday night’s Fauntleroy Community Association meeting, those opposed/concerned about the plan have announced an “informal meeting” tonight at C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor; 5612 California SW), 5:30 pm. Read more about the meeting on the Preserve Lincoln Park website.

NORTH DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL: This month’s agenda is here – and it includes a discussion of concerns at Delridge Skatepark, which is the planned location for the meeting (Delridge/Genesee), 6:30 pm.

There’s more on the calendar

    People get so excited about coyotes and river otters and hummingbirds and eagles and owls around here, but come on! Now we have GORRILLAS commiting unauthorized works of art in public parks?!?! It’s outrageous!

    Not to mention seals and black throated lizards! https://westseattleblog.com/2012/07/west-seattle-weekend-scene-lizard-on-a-leash

    So who cleans this up? Or does it just blow into the sound?

  • Sonoma July 9, 2012 (2:26 pm)

    Maybe it’s for a wedding. In which case, I assume (hope) the organizers clean up afterwards.

    I hope people aren’t that uptight. It’s a sweet idea and I doubt they were trying to make trash. They were likely leaving those as gifts for the public to take and possibly spread the love. Man, whatever happened to sharing loving kindness? Not to sound too hippie, but people are raging over a gesture that was meant to be appreciated.

    Mine was meant to be tongue in cheek…

Sorry, comment time is over.
