West Seattle (& beyond) Monday: Closures of note, plus 1 opening

| West Seattle news | White Center | WS miscellaneous

Another burst of warm weather is in the works, but as of this week, only one city-run wading pool remains open in West Seattle – Delridge, E.C. Hughes and Hiawatha have just had their final days of operation for the year, but Lincoln Park is open 11 am-8 pm daily (provided the daytime high’s projected to be at least 70) through September 6th. Also, Southwest Pool is scheduled to start a maintenance closure today, to run through Sept. 3rd; High Point Community Center also was scheduled to start a building-maintenance closure today. And an impending closure of note: One week till Seattle Public Libraries shut down for a budget-cut-compelled week, from Aug. 30th till after Labor Day (and note that the West Seattle [Admiral] branch already is closed for roof work that’ll last till the systemwide-shutdown week is over) – but you have ample opportunity to enjoy your libraries this week, starting with Baby Story Time at Southwest Library today, 11 am. Finally, our daily preview does include one opening: As first mentioned here a week ago, it’s grand-opening day for Uncle Mike’s BBQ in White Center (9640 16th SW) – a complete look at the new restaurant and its owners is now up at partner site White Center Now (check out the vegetarian options!). Meantime, more Monday activities around the area are listed on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar.

Just a typo note. The Libraries are closing August 30th, not Sept 30th.

Thanks, fixed.

Wow – Uncle Mike’s BBQ looks like a wonderful place! I’m going to take as many friends there as I can – love the vegetarian options on their menu too.

Wow I can’t believe most of the wading pools are closed already. I think of the W. Seattle pools Lincoln park is the one I like the least, the pool needs to be resurfaced badly, very hard on the feet. Glad at least something is still open.

Went to Uncle Mike’s last week and found it to be quite tasty!

We went from NO BBQ to TWO good BBQ joints in no time flat. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had Jones’ for the first time from the WS location this weekend. I’d say it’s even better than from the SODO location. The greens were DELICIOUS, as were the yams. Get your sauce on the side. The meat is so beautifully smoked, you may opt to not eat sauce at all, or just do a bit of dipping here and there. YUM.

Can’t wait to try Mike’s.

Sorry, comment time is over.
