West Seattle Saturday: A look at what’s ahead

(Friday afternoon rainbow photo shared by Erik)
From the WSB West Seattle Events calendar page – among other sources:

SEAHAWKS FLYOVER FYI: Via Twitter, the team announced, “A pair of Navy EA-18G Growlers will conduct a flyover near the end of the national anthem on Saturday.” Military flyovers at the stadiums often go over West Seattle, so we’re sharing the heads-up. (The team’s playoff game vs. New Orleans starts at 1:30 pm.)

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR MATT DURHAM: The West Seattle photojournalist and Woodinville firefighter, who died of cancer nine days ago at 45, will be remembered at 1 pm today at Overlake Christian Church in Redmond, all welcome. Details including a map are here.

CHRISTMAS-TREE RECYCLING: Want to get rid of your tree before the (potential) snow? Today’s the West Seattle Rainbow Girls‘ recycling event, 9 am-2 pm, Masonic Hall parking lot, 40th/Edmunds. (Suggested donation $5.)

SCHOOL FAIR/OPEN HOUSES: There’s a school fair at SSCC 10 am-1 pm, plus Westside School (WSB sponsor)’s open house 1-3 pm – here’s our preview from last night.

ELVIS COMPETITION: Two West Seattleites in the Elvis competition in SODO tonight – full details here.

Those are just a few of the highlights. More on the calendar. As for the forecast – there’s a chance of snow showers tonight/tomorrow.

    I’m at the junction an ther. Was just a huge procession of police, fire truck, and limos. Any word on what that was about?

      Yes – it was for the procession to Matt Durham’s memorial service on the eastside.

    So very sad. Condolences to his family and loved ones. He seemed like a mensch.

Sorry, comment time is over.
