Thanks to Kate Kaemerle from Sustainable West Seattle for sharing Kimberly Leeper‘s photo from last Monday night’s SWS walk along Longfellow Creek and through its watershed. Kate says, “One of the takeaways from the walk is how Seattle residents’ everyday activities impact the natural environment at home, at work and in urban planning and what we can do to keep our urban watersheds healthy in their own backyards, and what you can do to help preserve the health of our urban watersheds.” We often feature SWS events in the WSB calendar, from which today’s highlights are as follows:

4755 FAUNTLEROY AT DESIGN COMMISSION: 9 am, the Seattle Design Commission takes its fourth look at the 4755 Fauntleroy Way (the megaproject with Whole Foods, about 400 apartments, 600 parking spaces) development. Its role is related to the “alley vacation” the project is requesting, and today’s review looks at the “public benefit” that it’s offering for the right to buy and use the alley land. The public’s welcome; the commission meets at City Hall. (4th/Cherry)

TODDLER STORY TIME: One of the Seattle Public Library‘s regular local events (find ongoing listings like this one in our calendar – we don’t spotlight them here on the home page every day, but they’re there!), High Point Library, 11:30 am. (35th/Raymond)

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, FULL TILT ICE CREAM: The ice-cream shop that started the White Center business renaissance, among other things, is marking its fifth anniversary today. And if you go buy something at Full Tilt Ice Cream‘s original location in White Center, you’ll be contributing to a tradition – today’s anniversary-day profits from that store go to the White Center Food Bank. 2-10 pm; here’s our preview, a chat with FT’s Justin Cline. (9629 16th SW)

50+ AND SINGLE? Join tonight’s social-group meetup, 5 pm, through Lifelong Recreation. See our listing for contact info to find out the location.

FAUNTLEROY SCHOOLHOUSE ART SHOW: As previewed here yesterday, 6-8:30 pm, you’re invited to stop by the historic schoolhouse to see the art in its beautiful hallway. (9131 California SW)

ALKI COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Tonight’s agenda includes future development, Metro bus service, and exploration of RPZ parking restrictions. Alki UCC, 7 pm. (61st/Hinds)

TRY OUT FOR ‘SWEET, SWEET MUSIC’: Auditions for the next edition of the Fauntleroy Church music series are at 7 pm – details here.

SOLSTICE SUNSET WATCH: NASA Solar System Ambassador Alice Enevoldsen of Alice’s Astro Info (and Skies Over West Seattle – look for the latest installment this morning, unless breaking news intrudes) will be at Solstice Park, across and upslope from northern Lincoln Park, for tonight’s sunset – even if it’s cloudy (though heavy rain is grounds for cancellation). Sunset’s around 9, and the exact moment of summer solstice is just an hour later, at 10:04 pm.

Even more on the calendar!
