That’s one of at least three Steller’s Jays who have been very busy outside WSB HQ lately. Speaking of busy, we’ve been previewing some of this weekend’s MANY big events, and will continue to do so throughout the day/night – but right now, a few things to note in the hours to come, from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

HIAWATHA FUN FEST REMINDER: Noon-3 pm, starting off with a Caspar Babypants concert (free), carnival games (tickets/pass available) and more on the east side of Hiawatha Community Center/Park. (Lander/Walnut)

SMILE, YOU’RE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED FROM AFAR: An unusual photograph of Earth, from space, is happening between 2:27 and 2:42 pm today, and you’re encouraged by “The Day The Earth Smiled“ to be outside when that happens. This was passed along by our Skies Over West Seattle correspondent, Alice Enevoldsen.

FLOAT DODGER 5K PACKET PICKUP/REGISTRATION: As noted in our update early today – you can still get discount registration for tomorrow’s pre-parade West Seattle Float Dodger 5K by going to West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) today; if you’ve already signed up, it’s packet-pickup time 3-8 pm.

MOVIE NIGHT AT HPIC: Go see the Muppets onscreen, free, at Highland Park Improvement Club – doors open at 6:30, movie at 7; details in our calendar listing. (12th/Holden)

OUR STORIES, OUR VOICES: The monthly Trusted Advocates storytelling program starts with a light meal at 6, followed by storytelling at 6:30 pm, this month featuring White Center Community Development Association leader Sili Savusa – details in our calendar listing. It’s at the White Center Cultural Center in South Delridge. (9421 18th SW)
