Holiday weekends tend to be quieter, so today’s list isn’t long. From the WSB West Seattle Events calendar (and inbox):
PARTIAL WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE CLOSURE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT, INCLUDING ALL DAY SUNDAY: The Fauntleroy Expressway Seismic Retrofit Project, involving the west end of the West Seattle Bridge, requires a closure from 9 pm tonight through 11:59 pm Sunday. This mostly affects how you get onto and off the bridge in West Seattle. Unless there is some last-minute change, if you are headed out – eastbound – you will definitely be able to get onto the bridge from Admiral/Harbor (SDOT’s Marybeth Turner confirmed this in WSB comments last night) and from Delridge. (Though the advisory does not mention Avalon, we were able to access that way most nights this week – though there was a flagger right under the bridge – so we’ll see how the detour is marked when tonight’s closure begins.)
LOCAL HIGH-SCHOOL SWIMMERS IN STATE FINALS: Followup on some of the athletes we mentioned in our morning preview yesterday: Trisha Montemayor sends word that “Luke Asatainti will be swimming in finals this morning for his 100 breaststroke for West Seattle and (for Chief Sealth) Michael Stewart will swim in finals for the 200 freestyle and Morgan Montemayor will swim in finals in the 100 butterfly. This is an awesome accomplishment as only the top 16 swimmers advance to finals.” Good luck! (We’ll be checking on the gymnastics and wrestling results too, but anyone with word on those is welcome to e-mail us at editor@westseattleblog.com)
MARIMBA AT HIGH POINT CC: Zambuko Marimba Ensemble at 10:30 am at High Point Community Center. Enjoy the sounds of traditional and contemporary marimba of Zimbabwe. $5/person, $15 max per family.
CAT ADOPT-A-THON! As previewed here last night, Kitty Harbor has more than 70 cats – including famous rescuees – up for adoption this weekend, noon-6 pm both days. (Harbor Avenue just north of the West Seattle Bridge)
OCCUPY WEST SEATTLE: Occupy West Seattle‘s next General Assembly is today at 2 pm at the Seattle Public Library‘s High Point Branch (35th/Raymond). From their announcement: “We hope to see you there as we continue the discussion and continue the planning for our first direct action.”

It’s been all too long since he graced our stage, and we’re honored to welcome him back.
