West Seattle Labor Day 2010: What’s different, what’s not

TRANSIT: Metro is on a Sunday schedule, and the King County Water Taxi‘s West Seattle run (including shuttle buses) is on a regular weekday schedule, while the Vashon run isn’t operating (details here). Sound Transit per its Facebook page – will run its express buses on a Sunday schedule, but no Sounder train service. Washington State Ferries‘ Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run is on a weekend schedule.

TRASH/RECYCLING: Normal schedule, per Seattle Public Utilities

CITY-RUN POOLS/COMMUNITY CENTERS: Southwest Pool’s maintenance closure continues; Colman Pool is open (then closed until the weekend, its final two days of operation this year); this would be the last day for the last open wading pool in West Seattle, Lincoln Park, IF it was going to be 70+ degrees but that doesn’t look likely. City-run community centers are closed.

SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY: Last day of the weeklong systemwide closure

LIQUOR STORES: Open

MAIL DELIVERY: No

PARKING: If you visit an area of the city with parking meters/pay stations, note there’s no charge today, since Labor Day is a “parking holiday”

FOR A REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Here’s the “what’s open/closed” roundup from the Seattle Times (WSB partner).

LOOKING FOR COFFEE? We haven’t checked everybody’s schedules, but we do know that longtime WSB sponsor Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (4410 California SW) is open 7 am-7 pm.

    I assumed recycling/garbage/yard waste was tomorrow because of the holiday. Then I read this post about 19 seconds before the recycling truck pulled up to my house.
    .
    I jumped into my shoes like a fireman and dashed outside to roll out the bins. A new neighbor had stuffed the recycling bins with cardboard from unpacking. There was no way we would have made it another week.

    I believe that Hotwire is not only a “longtime” WSB sponsor, but the “inaugural” WSB sponsor. Not that I’m holding a grudge for them beating us to it or anything ;)

    I am grateful to live within walking distance of work because I do not comprehend the logic of the holiday schedule for mass transit.

Sorry, comment time is over.
