It’s sunny in Cheney! That’s where the West Seattle Little League 10-11 All-Stars are in the state championship tournament, and Lisa Stencel shared the photo with news that they’ve won their first two games and are playing again today. Good luck! Meantime, some of what else is happening today/tonight, from the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:

EVENING TRAFFIC ALERT: Tonight’s the night with the Sounders-Manchester U game plus the Katy Perry concert at KeyArena bringing tens of thousands of people into downtown – so if you need to get around, maybe consider leaving (or going to, if you work nights) work early. Here’s the official city advisory; and remember, the Water Taxi is running into the evening tonight.

TRIBAL JOURNEY CANOES: We learned earlier this week, as reported here, that some of the Tribal Journey canoes will paddle from Alki Beach on Thursday – but you may see some today, if “no parking” signs we noticed along the beach on Tuesday are accurate; they marked off a spot east of the bathhouse starting THIS morning and continuing into tomorrow.

NEED FACEBOOK HELP? “Basics of Facebook” class at Senior Center of West Seattle (4217 SW Oregon St, also August 24th and 26th), 9:30 – 11:30 am. Cost $10 members, $15 non-members, per series. Prepayment required. Must have a valid e-mail address for class.
