That’s one of the donation boxes from last night’s West Seattle Kiwanis-hosted Seattle Symphony concert, dedicated in part to the Haiti earthquake victims/survivors. Your chances to help them continue this weekend, starting with Keller Williams‘ fundraising car wash – rain or shine! – 10 am-3 pm today, alongside their offices at 4452 California SW in The Junction (map).

Other West Seattle/White Center fundraisers are listed here. Also today – divers at Alki Cove 2 (which is actually near Seacrest) will be joining in the Seattle Aquarium‘s octopus census (explained here) – looking for sights like this:

(Thanks to Paul Riggs for sharing info about the census as well as photos like that one by Joyce Merkel, president of the Marker Buoy Dive Club.) Another event of note: The ongoing discussion about Seattle Public Schools‘ new Student Assignment Plan – and any other school issue on your mind – continues when West Seattle’s school board rep Steve Sundquist hosts his next community chat, 1 pm today at Delridge Library. That’s also where, by the way, the branch’s first Vietnamese Story Time is scheduled for 11:15 today! MUCH more going on – all this is just a small slice – check the West Seattle Weekend Lineup for the full list.
