Today/tonight: West Seattle Halloween 2009 – and more

| Holidays | West Seattle news | West Seattle politics

Thanks to Keri for sharing a shot of the “pirate ship” that will be the main set of Skeleton Theatre again this year, tonight and tomorrow night, 6-9 pm at 36th/Hanford (directions & map) – West Seattle’s one and only animatronic Halloween extravaganza (2008 coverage here; 2007 coverage here; tons of behind-the-scenes info and videos on the ST website). That’s just one of the Halloween events in store — we have two separate ways for you to check the complete list of everything that’s going on this morning, afternoon and evening:

GROUPED BY TYPE OF EVENT – See the WSB Halloween page
ALL EVENTS, IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER – See the West Seattle Weekend Lineup

As for the non-Halloween happenings, there’s mayoral candidate Mike McGinn‘s “town hall” at West Seattle (Admiral) Branch Library at 10:15 this morning, the third one he’s had in West Seattle. And remember that today’s the last day of the 2009 season for the King County Water Taxi‘s West Seattle-to-downtown run; here’s the schedule, if you want to catch one last ride.

For the skeleton theatre deal…are the shows every 30 mins starting at 6pm or something like that? I just wondered what the actual start times are?

I drive by the Skeleton Theatre house everyday on my way to work and have watched daily the hard work they put in to creating this set… quite impressive! After seeing all the efforts they put in to it we’ve decided to walk up and check it out on Sunday night. Good luck with the show… I hope the weather is cooperative for you this year. :)

We’re going to do our best to start the show at 6:00 tonight and have a show on the hour and the half hour. The show itself is about 20 minutes and it will take about 10 minutes to reset everything. This schedule is very dependent on the weather but we’re hoping for no rain this year! We’ll also run the show on Sunday with the same schedule from 6:00-9:00 (and Sunday has a drier forecast!).

Sorry, comment time is over.
