Many big things coming up this month in WS. Here are a few we haven’t mentioned yet …

WEDNESDAY — First day of school for Seattle Public Schools (and many private schools too). Note that Cleveland HS is no longer in the Boren building on Delridge; its own new building is done. However, South Lake HS continues its temporary stay in the old Hughes building; and Fairmount Park Elementary will be empty after closing in June.

THURSDAY — Shoppers go wild! It’s the Fall Fashion Affair in The Junction, 7-10 pm at Sweetie, Edie’s, Clementine, and Carmilia’s.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH — The Northwest Hope & Healing Breast Cancer Half Marathon, with an added 5K Walk/Run if the half-m is a bit much. Sign up now at Capers in The Junction or get the registration form online and send it in.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH — First-ever fundraising breakfast for Southwest Youth & Family Services, 7:30 am @ Salty’s on Alki. Read more at the SWYFS website about all the people their programs help.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND — Annual dinner & auction to raise $ for the Log House Museum, 5 pm @ Alki Masonic Hall in The Junction. Call the LHM for tickets (938-5293).

I’m confused, where is cleveland hs located? I’ve played soccer at the old cleveland building in Gtown, while riding the 120 on Delridge by CLE HS daily. What is the story there, I’ve always been curious?

5511 15th Avenue S. is where Cleveland was before temporarily moving to the Boren site on Delridge, and where it will reopen for school this year. The former Boren Junior High building has been used for years as a temporary home for schools whose “real” sites are being rebuilt or dramatically renovated. Before Cleveland used it the past couple years — Madison MS was there while its building was overhauled — preceded by many others — we did some research once & learned that Boren has been a “temporary” site longer than it was open as a school unto itself!

Sorry, comment time is over.
