West Seattle Monday: Run for Boston; Delridge Grocery; high-school sports; more

Thanks to Gary Jones for sharing the beautiful bald-eagle view from Alki! As we take off into a new week, here’s some of what’s ahead today:

BAKERY NOUVEAU OPENS ON CAPITOL HILL: Our fellow community-collaborative news site CapitolHillSeattle.com reports that Bakery Nouveau‘s Capitol Hill location planned to open its doors at 8 this morning. (15th & John)

PET FOOD DRIVE ALL WEEK: West Seattle Montessori (WSB sponsor) is among the schools back in session today, and that means its pet-food donation drive continues. As reported here just before spring break, community members are welcome to drop off donated pet food as a contribution to the drive, too. (11215 15th SW)

HIGH-SCHOOL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL: Go support the division-leading West Seattle High School varsity baseball team while they get a TV spotlight. From parent Greg Slader:

Monday’s game at Hiawatha featuring Metro Division leaders West Seattle 10-1 (Sound Division) and Eastside Catholic 9-2 (Mountain Division) will be on TV! Comcast Xfinity “on Demand” will be filming for a Future episode of High School Sports Seattle.

That game’s at 3:30 pm at Hiawatha Playfield (2700 California SW). Check the Metro League schedule for other games.

RUN FOR BOSTON: One week after the Boston Marathon bombings, support/tribute runs are happening around the country tonight. West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) is organizing one that’ll start from its store at 6 pm. All welcome, no matter what your pace. (California/Charlestown)

DELRIDGE GROCERY: The monthly meeting for those involved – or interested in getting involved – with the future co-op grocery store is at 6:30 tonight, Delridge Library, with a focus on volunteer help – not just for when the store opens, but now, as preparations continue. Here’s our preview. (5423 Delridge Way SW)

FAMILY STORY TIME: Tonight you and your kids are invited to enjoy story time at High Point Library – 7 pm, free! (35th/Raymond)

Are you sure about the location of sealth varsity fast pitch game? Sealths web site still says they are playing at lower woodlawn feild.

Per the Metro League website, what we have is correct – on the Sealth page of the Metro League site, there’s a notation “schedule changed per the schools” – TR

What a great photo, Gary! Perfect timing on the takeoff. Thanks for sharing.

Was just in contact with chiefsealth office and they confirmed the girls varsity fast pitch game is still on at lower woodland feild 6. I know that west seattle girls are playing a riverveiw and there were changes for baseball. But no change for sealth fast pitch. Metro web site showed changes for other westseattle schools But it still shows sealth fast pitch at woodland park play feild. Double check.

OK, I’ve just taken them out and referred people to the Metro League schedule. Very hard to keep track of spring sports because of the changes – I’ve tried to have our calendar assistant pull from the schedules, but I guess we will just post the direct schedule links since nobody besides our WSHS baseball parent community contributor notifies us directly and that means too much room for inadvertent error when things change (we’re always open to getting scores and info directly from anyone else involved with any other program who is interested in helping make sure these things get reported). Thanks – TR
