Big Saturday around West Seattle and beyond. For today/tonight, we’re breaking the list into three parts – first, local Democrats’ caucuses, the first step toward choosing delegates for the presidential nominating convention:

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES: They start at 10 am – more than a dozen locations around West Seattle alone. Get there early. Your location is determined by which precinct you live in; if you don’t already know where you’re going, here’s all the info, as published here Friday. The caucuses are the first step toward delegate selection for our state’s representation at the nominating convention; there’s a presidential primary vote later this spring but that will not figure into the Democrats’ process.

Now, egg hunts and more as we start Easter weekend:

THRIFTWAY EGG HUNT: The famous egg hunt at West Seattle Thriftway, for ages 1-10, promising 30,000 eggs filled with fun. 9 am; get there early. (California/Fauntleroy)

COMMUNITY CENTER EGG HUNTS: 10 am is the start time – be there by 9:45 – for the city’s community-center egg hunts, at Alki Community Center, Delridge Community Center, Hiawatha Community Center, High Point Community Center, Southwest Teen Life Center/Southwest Pool.

EASTRIDGE EGG HUNT: Another annual tradition – Eastridge Church‘s egg hunt with 10,000 candy-filled eggs, pictures with the Easter Bunny, face painting, inflatables, prizes, more, at south meadow of Lincoln Park, 11 am. (8011 Fauntleroy Way SW)

LABYRINTH WALKING: Last chance to contemplate while walking the labyrinth set up in Adams Hall at Tibbetts United Methodist Church (WSB sponsor); hours today are noon-3 pm. (3940 41st SW)

    @Mark W. Lovely picture, but that’s what we expect.  Are you retired?  Or do you shoot on the weekends and hoard these up?  I am jealous of course… :-)

    It is 10:20 and the line at Fairmount Park Elementary has just ended. The school must be packed. I watched people lining up  at 9. Sure bodes well for the Democrats around here whether you are for Bernie or Hillary. And they keep coming. I would be there too but not good with crowds.

    Have picture from earlier but can’t seem to figure out how to add it. Oh wait, here it is. Taken at 9:15.

Sorry, comment time is over.
