To see the new look of the official WhiteHouse.gov presidential website, go here. Here’s a notable excerpt from the first entry on its “blog”:

One significant addition to WhiteHouse.gov reflects a campaign promise from the President: we will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days, and allow the public to review and comment before the President signs it.

We’ll add local photos/video of inauguration-watching moments as we get them. Here’s the Chelan Cafe, from Bob Loblaw:

Here’s the swearing-in, as watched and cheered by the West Seattle Democratic Women’s breakfast gathering at the WS Golf Course:

As we post this, the inaugural lunch is kicking off (10:33 am PT) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein just mentioned the population of the recipe page on the inaugural website; the site seems to be overloaded at the moment but if you want to try it later, here’s the link.

(added 1:30 pm) Kathleen from Highland Park sends more photos from the Chelan Cafe by The Bridge:

I just returned from a fantastic inauguration breakfast at the Chelan cafe. About 15 or so people sat and ate comfortably in the Ebb Tide Room watching the inauguration on 4 large plasma TVs. The atmosphere was festive including decorations, inauguration food specials, and just a general feeling of a small slice of the community coming together to share their happiness and joy. The owners (1st pic) couldn’t have been more hospitable! A great morning!

(added 3:55 pm) Barbara watched the ceremonies at Town Hall downtown:

(added 8:05 pm) From Arbor Heights, this group watched the inauguration together: Melissa, Tappi, Derek, Jake, and Maria:

(added 8:16 pm) Two sets of Obama cupcakes – first one from Trophy Cupcakes, photo sent by Lisa; second photo from Emily:

Got an Inauguration Day photo? We’ll add to this, for the record, till they stop coming in; editor@westseattleblog.com – we also will report separately on other events later today including two West Seattle schools where students will talk by phone with Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson, who’s in DC, and some of tonight’s West Seattle celebrations.

Meantime, click ahead to read a poem just sent by West Seattle poet Carol Smith:

Best Wishes

Now that you’re finally President
And brand new White House Resident
We’re confident you’ll right this boat
But only if you stay afloat

May you be strong enough and wise
To see the greed in others eyes
Who’ll promise gain and power so
You’ll venture where you should not go

May you face any type of threat
With wisdom so you don’t regret
Committing to a global deed
On facts designed to just mislead

May you try hard to keep your smile
When those who sit across the aisle
Confuse and complicate the mix
With their divisive bag of tricks

May anyone who you decide
Should always be close by your side
Prove in the end, they can full well
Resist the chance to kiss and tell

Then lastly, when the short straw’s drawn,
Your hand’s the one it rests upon
The sky may fall down from its place
But may you lead us all with grace
