(AFTERNOON NOTE – CONTINUING TO UPDATE cancellations/closure list as info comes in)

So far, we’ve received word of four cancellations because of the impending storm, so we start our daily preview with those:

NOT HAPPENING TODAY/TONIGHT – POSTPONED OR CANCELED
*Solstice P-Patch Harvest Festival
*Hate-Free Delridge vigil
*Lions Club Oktoberfest dinner
*Mutts & Martinis “Yappy Hour”
(added, per principal) *Chief Sealth IHS homecoming dance
(added, per e-mail) *YMCA women’s swim
(added, per e-mail)*Highland Park Improvement Club Harvest Dinner, rescheduled

We can’t guarantee those are the only cancellations, but since the wind warning doesn’t take effect until mid-afternoon (with the National Weather Service currently expecting peak winds 4-9 pm), morning events are probably safe.

Three things in particular we know ARE happening:

DELRIDGE GROCERY COOP ANNUAL MEETING: 10 am-noon, the group working to open a grocery store on Delridge convenes members for its annual meeting and promises big news. Delridge Community Center. (4501 Delridge Way SW)

SOUND & FOG POP-UP: 10 am-3 pm, the coffee/wine bar hosts local vendors for a pop-up market. (4735 40th SW)

RAINWISE CONTRACTOR FAIR AND TREE GIVEAWAY: 11 am-2 pm at Highland Park Improvement Club – we did get a note saying this is DEFINITELY on. It’s the last contractor fair of the year to help you find out more about the program to help you deal differently with stormwater on your property and potentially get a rebate for installation of improvements such as cisterns and raingardens. And – pick up a free tree for post-storm planting! (12th SW/SW Holden)

(added) WHITE CENTER FOOD BANK HARVEST DINNER/AUCTION: Tonight at Seattle Design Center in SODO. WCFB e-mailed to say it IS still on.

There’s more on our calendar, but especially if it’s an evening event, we suggest you check directly with the venue before you go. If we hear of any more changes – or confirmations – we’ll update this list. If you know of one, please let us know as soon as you can – editor@westseattleblog.com or text/voice 206-293-6302 – thank you!

P.S. Seattle Parks has a closure list here – grass playfields are closed all weekend as is Camp Long.

P.P.S. Seattle Public Library just announced all its branches will close at 2:30 pm.

    According to Seattle Weather Blog (retweeted by Nat’l WX Service SEA), peak gusts are predicted to be 55 mph.

      The forecast keeps changing. We’re watching the NWS and as you probably know they update roughly every six hours, so the mid-afternoon update will be the next read on the “models” …

    Thank you WSB. 

     It was a tough decision to postpone Mutts ‘n Martinis…a yappy  hour.   We believe safety comes first and based on all weather reports, they are recommending people stay home and off the roads.

     Stay dry. Stay safe.  See our facebook event page for more information. https://www.facebook.com/furryfacesfoundation/

     Cheers, Teri, Linda, Tammy

    CSIHS homecoming dance has been postponed.

      Thank you.

    Awesome picture Mark!  You definitely have the eye 😀

    Rainwise doesn’t say anywhere what kind of trees they’re giving away. It’s like they’re just an afterthought. Hmm. A tree is an investment of time and care. It’s a major component of one’s landscaping. I’d want to know  exactly what I was getting.

  • Yeaaah! October 15, 2016 (5:33 pm)

    I just want to know when the New Luck Toy opens! It’s taking forever.

      We’ll be checking on that. There’s some cool new art on the doors – someone kindly sent a photo last night – we were holding it until after the next storm but since that hasn’t arrived yet, might have to publish it as a buffer.

Sorry, comment time is over.
