No notable problems getting around on Viaductless Day 1 of 9 – but of course, it’s still the weekend. Tomorrow, we’ll be tracking both morning and evening commutes (and everything inbetween). But till then – once again today, there’s no reason to leave. From the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:

WEST SEATTLE FARMERS’ MARKET: 10 am – 2 pm, The Junction (44th/Alaska). Today’s highlights from market managers:

Which is better — Cake or Pie? Contestants will be featuring their favorite pie or cake recipe featuring luscious local pears. Dessert entries will show up at 10 am. Judges will taste and judge between 10 am and noon. Once the judging is complete, YOU CAN TASTE THE PIES AND CAKE in exchange for a donation to the West Seattle Food Bank. … ALSO, please welcome new and returning vendors: Jonboy Caramels, Lantern Brewery (sampling local beer), Lyall Farms (sweet potatoes, grapes and horseradish – of course!), Golden Glen Dairy (butter!), Millingwood (EGGS), Sea Breeze Farms and Bloom Creek CRANBERRIES!
