Another murky morning – forecast to make way for a sunny afternoon, just like Saturday. Our highlights list isn’t as long as Saturday, but still plenty to do:

POST-FIREWORKS CLEANUP: In case there’s any debris from last night’s fireworks show off Beach Drive – and to take advantage of the chance to pick up any “summertime beach trash.” 9-11 am, Emma Schmitz Overlook. Details here. (4503 Beach Drive SW)

    Beach Drive fireworks…just like Mom used to say “you make the mess, you clean it up”

    Yes, the playdate is for K-5 STEM at Boren! West Seattle STEM was one of the permanent name ideas that has been put out there. However, looks like we might want to rethink that to avoid confusion (your question mark on the post is a great example)!

Sorry, comment time is over.
