Two major meetings are part of our highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:
2-DAY CLOSURE FOR HARRY’S CHICKEN JOINT: The folks at Harry’s Chicken Joint (WSB sponsor) asked us to let you know that they are taking a two-day break, so they’ll be closed tonight/Wednesday night, back on Thursday, 4-8 pm (and remember, they’re open Sundays now, too).

LUAU/HAWAI’I-THEMED PARTY: Special event with a special menu and island music tonight at Salty’s on Alki (WSB sponsor) – details in our calendar listing; reservations required, so check to see if there’s still room. (1936 Harbor Ave. SW)
FAUNTLEROY BOULEVARD OPEN HOUSE: Years in the making, now in the design phase, the “Fauntleroy Boulevard” plan would bring major changes to Fauntleroy Way in The Triangle, from 35th SW to SW Alaska. At an open-house-format meeting tonight – 5 to 7 pm, drop in at any time, Senior Center of West Seattle – you can take a closer look at what’s planned so far and tell city reps what you think. (Oregon/California, enter on the north side and head upstairs)
REPEAT OFFENDERS – WHAT (IF ANYTHING) CAN BE DONE TO STOP THEM? We’ve reported on some of them – property-crime repeat offenders with countless victims. They get arrested, spend some time in prison, get out, and in many cases, start all over again. Now authorities say they have a new plan. Come hear about it directly from prosecutors at tonight’s West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network meeting, 6:30 pm at the Southwest Precinct. (Delridge/Webster)
NIGHTLIFE: Multiple listings on our calendar every night of the week – tonight, for example, you’ll find eight listings, including live music, open mike, bingo, karaoke, and trivia. See them all here.
P.S. – DOWNTOWN EVENT FEATURING YOUNG WEST SEATTLE WRITERS: If you are, or could be, downtown tonight, you have the chance to cheer for young writers from West Seattle and beyond. Here’s the announcement:
On Tuesday, September 23, the West Seattle community is invited to the Seattle Arts & Lectures’ Writers in the Schools Anthology Reading & Celebration. The Writers in the Schools Program (WITS) places professional local writers in public schools to develop writing skills and spark inspiration. Since 1994, the WITS program in the Seattle area has been helping students discover their own authentic voices. Featuring creative writing by students in last year’s program, this reading by 50 young authors will move the audience to tears, laughter, awe and wild applause.
This year’s anthology includes writing by Chief Sealth High School students Adam Krzeszowski, Shayla Pilarski, Isabella Renz and Harrison Robel; West Seattle High School students Abigail A. Alishio, Lucas Lavoie, Jackson Oehling and Michael Smith; and Lafayette Elementary School students Kenji Brown, Liam Bunting, Parker Campbell, Savannah Joy Faber, Elanor Gunlogson and Gavin Mountry. A number of these students will be among the featured readers.
The readings will take place in the Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall, beginning at 7 PM on September 23. The events are free and open to the public. The young authors will sign copies of the anthology, and a reception will follow, with sweets donated by Cupcake Royale.
