Don’t let the clouds keep you at home. It’ll still be warm enough to have fun at the Westwood Village Street Fair, and to help 7 groups/organizations raise money at benefits today for people and pets. Plus – good luck, grads! Here’s the roundup of highlights from the WSB West Seattle Events Calendar:

ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT/99 CLOSED: Another reminder that the stretch from the Battery Street Tunnel to the West Seattle Bridge is closed for the weekend, both directions, as crews continue reinforcing the Viaduct section that’s over the tunnel-boring route. It’s scheduled to reopen by 5 am Monday.

WESTWOOD VILLAGE STREET FAIR: 10 am-7 pm, it’s the annual free, fun event at the shopping center (2600 SW Barton) – kids’ activities, live music starting at 3 pm, and more, including a school-supplies “stuff the bus” donation drive and (noon-2 pm at Barnes and Noble) booksigning by local author Jon Wells (“Shipwrecked”).
