Three quick notes as the weekend approaches:

SCHMITZ PARK STAFFERS VOTE ON SUPERINTENDENT: We’ve received this from several education-related sources: 15 “union members” at Schmitz Park Elementary are reported to have voted “no confidence” in Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson. Here’s one post about it. The Save Seattle Schools site has reported a few other such votes outside West Seattle, including Ballard HS.

SWINERY PATIO: Maybe THIS will bring summery weather? The Swinery is opening its courtyard patio for lunch service as of next Tuesday, according to longtime WSB contributor Christopher Boffoli (and it’s also confirmed on their FB page). If you haven’t been there lately, take note that they’ve been writing about expanded food offerings – including hot takeout food for dinner.

SHOREWOOD SALES: More information on the Streets of Sales in the Shorewood neighborhood south of SW West Seattle tomorrow, 10 am-4 pm – akin to WS Community Garage Sale Day – Shorewood’s Lynne Crockett has sent this PDF of a hand-marked map showing sale locations. Printed maps will be available throughout the neighborhood. (And if you don’t mind going even further to shop, tomorrow also is Capitol Hill Community Garage Sale Day, 10 am-3 pm!)
