West Seattle Thursday: Tree case, Tinkerlab, art dedication, Design Review, more…

Busy day/night ahead in West Seattle, and here are some of the reasons why:

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE TALKS TREE-CUTTING: As first reported here Tuesday, the City Council’s Parks, Seattle Center, Libraries, & Waterfront Committee will talk this morning about the West Seattle illegal tree-cutting case during a discussion of “tree stewardship.” The meeting is at City Hall at 9:30 am and includes a public-comment period; it’ll be live on the Seattle Channel, cable 21 and seattlechannel.org. (500 4th Ave.)

OUR OCEAN & YOU: From Stacia Bell at Madison Middle School‘s library:

In preparation for Earth Day on April 22nd, underwater photographer and environmental speaker Annie Crawley will be visiting Madison Middle School on Thursday, April 7th to share some amazing underwater images with students and talk with them about the environmental challenges our planet faces from the impact of climate change and marine debris.

Through her stories and photographs, she hopes to teach students about the interdependence we have with the ocean and empower them to take action in protecting it. Grade-level assemblies will occur during 1st, 2nd and 4th period in the cafeteria and parents/guardians are welcome to join us. Contact Ms. Bell in the library if you have any questions.

    Thanks for the seattle channel info. I watched. Interesting to learn that there’s a homeowner’s association involved in this.

      No, that wasn’t this case. They were referring to the one Peter Donohue spoke about. Not WS. Some print pub wrote about it recently.

Sorry, comment time is over.
