Happy Sunday! Here are highlights of what’s happening in West Seattle:

ORCA HALF MARATHON: Today marks the Orca Half‘s second year in West Seattle. The course is being run differently this year – runners will gather at Don Armeni Boat Ramp starting at 6:30 am to be shuttled to Lincoln Park, from which they will start – near Colman Pool – in waves between 8 am and 9 am, running a course inside the park before heading north and east toward the finish line at Don Armeni – here’s the map. They’ll be running on trails, sidewalks, and in the parking lane. Beneficiary is The Whale Trail. You can sign up right before the race, at the shuttle pickup point/finish-line location at Don Armeni. (1222 Harbor SW)

RECYCLE ROUNDUP: 9 am-3 pm in the lot outside Fauntleroy Church, free dropoff for the items on the official list of what’s being accepted during the fall Recycle Roundup. Go early to avoid waiting in line. (9140 California SW)
