It’s back-to-school day for Seattle Public Schools – the last to return from holiday break. Stormy weather’s moving in. And the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar is back in gear too. Among the events listed for today/tonight as the new year gets down to business:

WEST SEATTLE COOKING CLUB: 3 pm today at Beveridge Place Pub (6413 California SW), with the theme “$5 Dishes” – cook one without spending more, and bring it to share. Details in the calendar listing.

COAL MOVIE: 6:30 tonight at Our Lady of Guadalupe‘s Pastoral Center (35th and Myrtle), “Dirty Coal: The Toxic Addiction” will be screened. Details in the calendar listing.

FAMILY STORY TIME: 7 pm at the High Point branch of the Seattle Public Library (35th and Raymond) – which, as of yesterday, is one of the branches open on Sundays, and SPL is looking for your opinion on Sunday programming – take the survey here.

PUB QUIZ: On an otherwise quiet night for nightlife, Monday night pub quiz is a staple on the Shadowland calendar, 8 pm.
