West Seattle Monday: Welcome to the third week of Aug-tober

Skateboarding or snowboarding? The Delridge Skatepark photo shared by Mike captures the sentiment of our not-very-warm-or-sunny summer. On the bright side, you’ll have something to talk about for years, provided this isn’t the “new norm.” Anyway, here’s some of what’s up on this third Monday in Aug-tober – from the WSB West Seattle Events calendar (send YOUR event to editor@westseattleblog.com):

YOUR VOTE! Already sent your ballot in? Tomorrow’s the deadline. You can mail it as long as it’s postmarked by then – or, get it to a dropbox (none in West Seattle or White Center, still, but here’s the list – downtown is closest).

    I sure hope it’s not still in the 70s and 80s in actual october.

      Austin – Two notes: 1. We had a 70+ day last November. 2. The forecast now is a lot better than it was when I roughed this out last night! Ha! Maybe it broke the spell. – TR

    Aug-tober! Thank you–I’ve been wondering what snide name to call this non-summer month!

    What a hilarious picture…love it! Speaking of loving it – I’m probably the only one that has loved our comfortable cool summer…AAAAAHHHHH!

    I worry that we have lost the area’s special air currents that keeps things temperate around here. Lets hope we don’t get a more arctic like winter to go with the summer.

    I don’t mind the cooler summer at all but I hate bitter cold that’s one of the reason’s I live here.
