Thanks to Michael for sharing that photo from Friday via the WSB Facebook page. Highlights for the first day of the holiday weekend, from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:
WEST SEATTLE HS BASEBALL TEAM @ STATE: 10 am in Mount Vernon, the West Seattle High School Wildcats face Shelton HS as state-tournament play begins. It’ll be tweeted live at @wseattlestate. (Winner faces the winner of Bonney Lake-Glacier Peak later in the day; here’s the bracket.)
SEATTLE LUTHERAN HS BASEBALL TEAM @ STATE: Also at 10 am, state-tournament play begins for Seattle Lutheran High School. The preview is from Joe Puckett:
On Saturday, Seattle Lutheran will continue the quest for its third 2B state baseball championship in the last 5 years. The first game is at 10 AM in Adna against Toutle Lake. If Sealu prevails, they will face the winner of the game between Napavine and Tri-Cities Prep later in the afternoon. A win in the second game would mean that the Saints would move on to the 4-team finale on May 31. Here is a link to the entire bracket for the 16 teams remaining in the hunt for the championship.
GET YOUR POPPY: “Honor the dead and help the living” by getting your poppy from American Legion Post 160/Auxiliary Unit 160 this weekend, starting 10 am-3 pm today at West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor), as previewed here. (Fauntleroy/California/Morgan)
HIGHLAND PARK SPRAYPARK’S FIRST DAY OF 2014: Today’s temperature is likely to break 70, so that means there’s a good chance the Highland Park Spraypark will open for its second season, 11 am-8 pm today, as scheduled. (1100 SW Cloverdale)
