Next chance to find out more about Delridge-to-Junction Metro Route 50 – before the comment period closes this Friday – is tonight, as a Metro rep visits the North Delridge Neighborhood Council meeting, 6:30 pm, Delridge Library. Another info-packed meeting will be happening tonight at 7 at the board room at South Seattle Community College: The Southwest District Council. Now on to entertainment!

Luckie sends that photo from the final dress rehearsal of “Annie Jr.,” the Lafayette Elementary school play, which will be staged tonight, Friday night, and Saturday night, 7 pm each night at the West Seattle High School Theater. Also tonight: Love to sing but didn’t quite make it to the kickoff of Alki Idol last week? You’re in luck – tonight “Junction Idol“ launches at Rocksport; read more here. One last preview to mention – later this morning we’ll get an update on the project planned on this site:

That lot at 35th/Holden (map) has long been designated as the future home of a new, rebuilt Fire Station 37, and the next step toward construction is set for this morning; Mayor Nickels will be at a Southeast Seattle fire station to announce the start of the construction process for 10 fire-station projects citywide, including the $6 million Station 37, which is about to go to bid. (We asked the mayor’s office if the upcoming $13 million Station 32 project would be part of today’s announcement; they said no. The latest status report indicates construction for FS 32 won’t start till summer of next year. But the same document indicates work on 37 could start next month.)
