Will the orcas return? Thanks to Trileigh Tucker for the shot from yesterday (and some of the day’s orca updates). While we’re waiting to see if they do, here’s what’s on the schedule, from the WSB West Seattle Events calendar and West Seattle Holidays page:

TRIANGLE REZONING? Seattle City Council Committee on the Built Environment looks again at West Seattle Triangle rezoning, 9 am, City Hall. Watch live via the Seattle Channel, cable 21 or seattlechannel.org – we’re planning to put the video window up on the home page when the meeting gets to this item (there’s at least one complicated, unrelated item beforehand).

NOVEMBER 30: HEARING LOSS SUPPORT GROUP at Senior Center of West Seattle (California/Oregon), 1-2 pm last Wednesday of the month, starting today.

TAKING OFFICE: Puget Ridge resident Marty McLaren will be sworn in as the new West Seattle school-board rep, 4 pm at district HQ in SODO. (Election results were certified yesterday.)

ROXHILL PARK PLAYGROUND: Tonight is the final design meeting for Roxhill Park Playground, 6 pm, Southwest Library. (Our coverage of the previous meeting is here.)

OPENING NIGHT: Starting tonight, ArtsWest presents the seasonal premiere of “Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)” by Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald and John K. Alvarez. 7:30 pm; ticket info here.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, TREES, MORE: Again, that’s all on our West Seattle Holidays page.
