(WSB photo: U.S. Coast Guard crew just off the Alki promenade on Saturday)
Welcome to a sunny Seafair Sunday! (Added 1:05 pm: And happy 223rd birthday, U.S. Coast Guard – just a coincidence we ran that photo today, didn’t hear about the birthday till now!) Again today, we start with two FYIs, followed by highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:
TRAFFIC ALERT IF YOU’RE HEADED EAST: The I-90 bridge is scheduled to close one last time, 1:15-2:40 pm today, for the Patriots Jet Team’s performance during this year’s final Seafair airshow.
NO LIGHTHOUSE TOURS: Again today, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will NOT be opening Alki Point Lighthouse for tours, because of a “heavy task load” for Seafair. Tours are set to resume next weekend (1-4 pm both days).
