Thanks to Doug B for sharing two photos of a fish-catching osprey (the second one is at the end of this long list of things happening today). So much to do, the ability to fly might be helpful. From the WSB West Seattle Events Calendar, here goes!

RECORD STORE DAY: Easy Street Records in The Junction is already open for the day if you want to get started. Special events include a photo exhibition plus The Young Evils live at 7:30 pm and Reignwolf live at 9 pm. (California/Alaska, of course.

TAX-FREE SALE DAY IN THE JUNCTION – AND FOOD DEALS TOO: The list of participants has grown since the first announcement – check ’em out on The Junction’s website. All day long and into early evening, participating stores/restaurants have deals for you, to commemorate another Tax Day just past – the “tax-free” part involves 10 percent discounts – look for the red balloons.

OPEN HOUSE AND EARTH DAY AT FLEURT: While you’re in The Junction, stop by WSB sponsor Fleurt, which is not only participating in Tax-Free Sale Day but also celebrating its new location AND Earth Day – from proprietor Sam:

We will have cupcakes provided by Sugar Rush Bakery and a raffle for a chance to win a custom made Terrarium ($100 value). Special Reminder: Earth Day is Sunday April 22nd. Fleurt encourages you to drop off your old vases and containers that will be repurposed at Fleurt, or donated to the West Seattle Senior Center. Our gift to you for recycling is a mini plant. Dropoff both Saturday and Sunday.
