West Seattle Monday: Schools; stories; parks; recipes…

As a new workweek begins, that demolition project in North Delridge is down mostly to the cleanup stage; over the weekend, we photographed what’s left of the old industrial site on the southeast corner of 28th/Yancy (we reported its impending demolition here on Valentine’s Day). Meantime, from the WSB West Seattle Events Calendar:

Long line for enrollment at the SPS headquarters this morning. Luckily they were pulling people out of line if they had all their school change forms ready. Note to anyone going down in person, you can bring an extra copy of your change form and they’ll stamp/sign it verifying your request was received.

Word in North Delridge is that the demolition contractor that was tearing down the old mill on Yancy discovered a major pot grow set up that had just vacated the building a month or so ago. Indications of what was thought to be a 1,000 plant, give or take. He called SPD and it sounds like they shrugged it off.

Sorry, comment time is over.
