From the West Seattle Weekend Lineup and from post-WSWL arrivals in the WSB inbox last night, some of today’s highlights:

WATERFRONT VISION: Mayor McGinn called four meetings around the city to invite citizens to help plan a “great central waterfront.” The third one is 2:30-4 pm today at High Point Community Center; the concept’s explained here.

PLAY BALL! Anthony sent word that Chief Sealth High School‘s baseball team will be in action at Southwest Athletic Complex (across the street from Sealth’s permanent home on SW Thistle) at 12:30 pm, including a free barbecue, and they’d love to see community support!

MADISON STUDENTS AT EMERALD CITY COMICON: Perhaps the biggest event in the city this weekend is the comics/pop-culture gathering at the Convention Center downtown (official website here), and Greg Hatcher will be there with Madison Middle School students he teaches. As he writes here, their afterschool program is partly funded by Partners With Youth from the West Seattle YMCA (WSB sponsor), and he says they’re collecting donations at Emerald City Comicon to help make sure the program continues.

CHURCH SALES: Turns out THREE local churches are having sales this weekend – got late word of one for the Westside Unitarian Universalists – it’s at 2008 California SW, Unit B, 10 am-4 pm today, 1-6 pm tomorrow (and will continue the next two weekends as well – watch the WSB Events calendar). Meantime, it’s day two for two churches’ rummage sales – we dropped in for the overviews to show you HOW big – here’s the Tibbetts United Methodist Church scene:

They’re selling from 9 am-3 pm today at 3940 41st SW (map); and the other sale’s a few blocks away at West Side Presbyterian Church:

WSPC’s rummage sale is 9 am-2 pm at 3601 California SW (map).

BOOK SALES: As per this reminder last night, the Sanislo Elementary used book sale is 10 am-2 pm at 1812 SW Myrtle. And Kristi Keithly has a used book sale 9 am-noon at Seaview Methodist (4620 SW Graham; map) to raise money for the Breast Cancer 3-Day.

SCHOOL INFO EVENTS: “Option schools” including West Seattle’s Pathfinder K-8 are represented at an info event at Seattle Public Schools HQ in SODO, 10 am-noon; Three Tree Montessori in Burien (WSB sponsor) has an open house this afternoon, 1-3 pm.

BUSINESS BIRTHDAY: Max and Quinn’s Atomic Boys Shop-O-Rama in the Admiral District marks its second anniversary today, with fun extras for shoppers. 10 am-6 pm.

MUCH, MUCH MORE … in the West Seattle Weekend Lineup . (And remember to set your clock ahead an hour tonight – Daylight Saving Time officially arrives at 2 am.)
