West Seattle Sunday: Family Fun Day; recycling; pig roast…

The full list of what’s up today/tonight is in the West Seattle Weekend Lineup. 5 highlights, in order of appearance:

BRING YOUR RECYCLABLES TO FAUNTLEROY CHURCH, 9 AM-1 PM: When 1 Green Planet was there previously, they filled multiple truckloads. It’s a great chance to get old electronics and some other hard-to-recycle items out of your basement. Here’s more info on what they’ll accept; here’s a map. Also, the Second-Time Sale continues 11 am-1 pm in the church’s Fellowship Hall.

HOLY FAMILY COMMUNITY STREET FAIR: A salsa cookoff’s part of what you’ll find today as 20th SW is closed south of Roxbury (map) for a second day, 9 am-4 pm. More info here.

WEST SEATTLE FARMERS’ MARKET: It’s year-round and it’s on again today, 10 am-2 pm at 44th/Alaska – here’s the latest Ripe ‘n’ Ready list of what’s new and what’s fresh.

    Yo, Patrick or Tracy or whoever is doing the editing today. The link for the “fresh list” at the farmers market is pointing to the wrong place!

      Thanks. Laptop’s getting old and cranky (2 1/2 years in continuous use) and doesn’t pick up the control/c copying as much any more, though I should have noticed. Fixed now – TR

    I went to the Farmer’s Market this weekend, the first time in many years. I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed. The majority of the vendors were rude and unhelpful. I’ll stick to the Ballard one.

Sorry, comment time is over.
