(Surf scoter off Alki, by Patrick McCaffrey)
After a very busy weekend – with coverage from the green glow of the Northern Lights to green costumes on canines – it’s on with the new week. From the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar, six notes for the rest of today/tonight:

CITY COUNCIL VOTE ON SURVEILLANCE-SYSTEM PARAMETERS: It’s not specifically about the system including West Seattle cameras that were installed unannounced, but the proposal that the council will consider during its 2 pm meeting today will, the city says, be used to vet policies before it is activated. Details are in this story from Saturday. There’s a public-comment opportunity at the start of the meeting.

ALSO @ COUNCIL – CAR 2 GO EXPANSION: The agenda at 2 pm today also includes an increase in permits for Car2Go, which launched in Seattle without including our side of the city, but says it’s changing that (as noted here last week). If you can’t get to City Hall for these or any other Council proceedings, you can watch live via the Seattle Channel, on cable or online.

ANNIVERSARY CAKE: The 25th anniversary celebration at West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) continues with cake today marking the anniversary of its reopening following reconstruction after the 1997 fire. All customers are welcome to drop by for a slice starting at 4 pm.

SUSTAINABLE WEST SEATTLE: Dig into sustainable gardening with SWS at its community forum tonight – 6 pm on the north end of the South Seattle Community College (6000 16th SW; WSB sponsor) campus, in the Horticulture Center/Community Orchard of West Seattle vicinity – details here (and be there to see who wins a $1,000 grant).

FAMILY STORY TIME: At High Point Library (35th/Raymond) tonight, 7 pm.

‘ON STAGE’ DISCUSSION @ ARTSWEST: Go behind the scenes of ArtsWest‘s acclaimed current production “Next Fall” during a free event in the theater, 7:30 tonight, explained here.
