SANTA PHOTOS AND MORE IN THE JUNCTION: As previewed here last week, today is the one and only day that West Seattle Junction Hometown Holidays (co-sponsored by WSB) is offering a chance for professional Santa photos; Junction Plaza Park is scheduled to become Santa’s Workshop, 11 am-3 pm, with Donna Ryan photographing Santa and kids for a suggested $15 donation to charity, plus activities for all visitors. If there are any changes because of the blustery weather, we’ll update here, as we plan to be in The Junction checking things out in advance. (42nd/Alaska) **SEE 10:36 AM UPDATE HERE**

    I can’t find any mention of Santa at Westwood or Capers this year. Any available info on Santa sightings other that the Junction today and City Mouse on the 21/22nd?

    Thanks for the birds pics. It gives me a chance to learn about the birds in our area. :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
