From the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar – with two notes about City Council and County Council today, too:

‘HIGH-EARNER INCOME TAX’ RESOLUTION @ CITY COUNCIL: West Seattle/South Park City Councilmember Lisa Herbold is introducing a resolution (co-sponsored by Council President Bruce Harrell) at this afternoon’s City Council meeting (2 pm) regarding a “high-earner” city income tax, as she explained in her most recent online update. This is a resolution – a statement of intent, not actual legislation, which theoretically would come later. There’s a public-comment period at the meeting at City Hall, and it will also be live via Seattle Channel (online or cable Channel 21).

ARTS-ACCESS TAX @ COUNTY COUNCIL: Though at one point last month the proposed arts-access sales-tax increase was reported to have stalled in County Council consideration, it’s back and a council announcement says it will be considered by county councilmembers during today’s 1:30 pm meeting. They could vote to send it to the August ballot. The meeting is at the county courthouse downtown, and will be live on KCTV (online too).

GLOBAL GENDER-EQUITY COMMUNITY NIGHT: This will be hosted 5:30-7 pm tonight at West Seattle High School by the WSHS UNICEF Club, which “wants to invite all families, parents, and students around West Seattle! It is going to be a fun evening full of activities and learning about how education, gender equity, and the power of women all play a role in the global theater. Come be inspired by the youth of your community and their passions.” (3000 California SW)

FAMILY STORY TIME: 6:30 pm at High Point Library – bring the kids! (35th SW/SW Raymond)

MONDAY NIGHT QUIZ: 7:30 pm at The Skylark, all ages, prizes! (3803 Delridge Way SW)

And a traffic-alert reminder, again:

OVERNIGHT BRIDGE CLOSURES SET TO START TONIGHT: 9 pm until 5 am tonight, the west end of the West Seattle Bridge – west of Delridge – is set to be closed for streetlight work. Here’s the SDOT advisory.
