West Seattle Sunday: Farmers’ Market return; discs; bikes…

(Friday photo of Alki-area bald eagle, by Gary Jones)
Looks like a decent day for some outdoor work or play. (ADDED: Minutes after we published this, a great sunrise photo came in, taken by Coleman Smith at EC Hughes Playground, AND the forecast added the words “partly sunny”:)

Here’s what’s on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:

WEST SEATTLE FARMERS’ MARKET RETURNS: After two holiday Sundays off, it’s the return of the West Seattle Farmers’ Market, 10 am – 2 pm, The Junction (44th/Alaska). Market management says the new year brings new vendors: Finnriver Artisan Hard Cider & Spirited Wine, with wine and cider sampling from 10-2 pm. From the vintners …”We will feature our artisan Black Currant, Pear and Dry Hopped sparkling ciders, crafted on the Olympic Peninsula, and our sumptuous fruit brandy wines.” Also – as noted here earlier this week – Honest Biscuits debuts, as does Maninis Gluten Free (selling “sweet and savories,” says WSFM). **UPDATE** As noted in comments, Honest Biscuits is not there today after all; they tweeted this morning that “serious illness” is keeping them away.

GET OUT AND TOSS: West Seattle Ultimate Family Frisbee, 11 am, Walt Hundley Playfield (34th/Myrtle).

FOOD TRUCK: One weekly truck in West Seattle today – Snout and Co. 11 am-3 pm at 35th/Graham.

FREE BICYCLE REPAIR: Bike trouble? Expert volunteers’ work to get more bicycles on the road in White Center continues today with another Dubsea Bikes session, 2-4 pm at Full Tilt Ice Cream in downtown WC. (Map on our event calendar listing from partner site White Center Now.)

WEST SEATTLEITE ON ‘HOARDING’: Karen Pfeiffer Bush from LifeSpace tells WSB she is a guest Professional Organizer on TLC/The Discovery Channel’s show “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” episode 11 of Season 3, which airs at 9 pm Pacific tonight. Friends are gathering at Rocksport in The Junction for a viewing party starting at 7:30 pm. Karen says:

The role of the guest professional organizer is to help one of the people featured in an episode conquer their hoarding problem. Typically, there are 2 feature stories in the hour-long program. I worked hands-on with the woman who is described as having a daughter who is concerned about her mother’s health and safety. The LifeSpace team works with people with all sorts of organizing challenges. I specialize in working with people who struggle with hoarding and chronic disorganization.

NIGHTLIFE: Sidecaps and Psychedelephant play Skylark Café, all ages, 8 pm, $5 cover … The Bridge has karaoke on Sunday with Karaoke Kelli at 9:30 pm.

    We came specifically for Honest Biscuits but they are not here.

      Oh no! Not only did they tell us they’d be here, the Farmers’ Market sent word of that last night. I’m sorry, we would never have mentioned it if we’d known … ::checking:: Looks like they tweeted this morning that they are dealing with “serious illness” …

    Does anyone know if the food truck “BigFood” has given up on West Seattle? If so, I will be eternally sad. They are possibly the best food truck I’ve ever had!

      If you’re not already, keep an eye on this page – http://www.wseattleeats.com – that’s for the Uptown “truck pod.” I notice they added one for today in just the past few hours – today was blank when I put together this roundup around 8 am, and now it lists “Contigo” for Sunday lunch. (Or maybe subsequent Sundays – their website isn’t even fleshed out yet: http://www.contigoseattle.com )

    Point of clarification: “Hoarders” on A&E is the Emmy-nominated show (produced by a local production company with offices in Georgetown), not to be confused with TLC’s version with a remarkably similar name and concept.

      There are TWO cable TV series devoted to the topic?
      .
      Anyway, apologies, changing the word in the slug line to “Hoarding” – the title is correct in the body copy, taken from what was sent to us announcing this … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
