Welcome to the new week, kicking off with events including these:

ZAP! ZIP! ZING! Fun for ages 5 and up at West Seattle (Admiral) Library, 10:30 am, with singer/songwriter Nancy Stewart.(2306 42nd SW)

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AFFORDABILITY: 2:30 pm (or immediately after the full council meeting), the new committee meets for the second time, and much has happened since the first meeting. Here’s the agenda; they’re primarily setting timetables for what the committee will do first, including work on the Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning Resolution and the Commercial Linkage Fee Bill. If you can’t be there, Seattle Channel will have it live via cable and Web.

HIKE WITH THE NATURE CONSORTIUM: 6:30 pm, join the Nature Consortium for a free guided hike through the Soundway area of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. Details in our calendar listing. (14th SW & SW Holly trailhead)

NORTH DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL: 6:30 pm, instead of a meeting, it’s a barbecue for the NDNC! From Nancy Folsom:

The North Delridge Neighborhood Council will be celebrating summer with a BBQ potluck for our August meeting. It’s on the usual night–the second Monday, which is the 10th at the Delridge Community Center park between the skatepark and the wading pool. Some basics will be provided such as beef and vegetarian burgers and hot dogs. Please bring a side and drinks to share. Additional BBQ items will also be welcome. Come over to the park, say hi, and relax. See you there!

FULL LIST FOR TODAY/TONIGHT/BEYOND – can be seen on our calendar.

    Please include the name of the hawk pictured on https://westseattleblog.com/2015/08/five-highlights-as-your-west-seattle-monday-takes-off/
    It is a Sharp-shinned Hawk.
    Beautiful photo. How fortunate that the bird is perched on a nude madrona branch.

      We do include species names 99 percent of the time but in this case, the photographer only said “hawk,” and I have been burned too many times trying to guess.

Sorry, comment time is over.
