From the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

WEST SEATTLE/SOUTH PARK LIBRARIES CLOSED: Today only, it’s an in-service day for the staffs of Admiral (West Seattle), Delridge, High Point, South Park, and Southwest branches of the Seattle Public Library, so those libraries are closed; they’ll reopen tomorrow.

HOME OFFICE AND CO-WORKING MEETUP: Noon-1:15 pm, get out of the home office and come join a meetup with other nontraditional workers/entrepreneurs at West Seattle’s only co-working hub, WS Office Junction (WSB sponsor). More info in our calendar listing. (6040 California SW)

EARLY DAYS: Noon-2 pm, weekly drop-in support group for expectant parents and those with babies up to 1 year old, now meeting at Limber Yoga in north Morgan Junction. Details in our calendar listing. (6019 California SW)

GET YOUR FLU SHOT: 4-7:30 pm, Chief Sealth International High School hosts a flu-shot clinic, but it’s NOT just for people with ties to the school – everyone is welcome, says Sealth nurse Alison Enochs. Adults must have proof of insurance (they’ll bill yours) or the $28 cost, but no student will be turned away for lack of insurance. Our original preview is here, including information on another one coming up at WSHS if you miss this one. (2600 SW Thistle)

FEEL LIKE SINGING? 5-6:30 pm, it’s your monthly chance to do exactly that at the Senior Center of West Seattle. All welcome, as explained in our calendar listing. (Oregon/California)

SCHOOL-BOUNDARY-CHANGE MEETING: 6:30 pm in the lunchroom at Fairmount Park Elementary, tonight’s your chance to ask questions about the boundary changes next school year for some Seattle Public Schools. The district says all affected families should have received direct notification, but if you didn’t see our original story on this last week, you might want to check the maps just in case. (38th/Findlay)

34TH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS: 7 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy; the agenda includes an update from King County Executive Dow Constantine. (9131 California SW)

NIGHTLIFE, NIGHTLIFE, NIGHTLIFE! Lots of options tonight – see the individual listings on our calendar.

Better hope that NOAA doesn’t see this photo – the Stellar sealions (smaller variety of sealion, larger are California sealions) are protected, and the water taxi could be considered harassing them.

Mark, I believe, was shooting from shore, which can compress the distance. The Water Taxi’s route wasn’t anywhere close to the buoy when I rode it twice last week…

While it is absolutely true that long lenses can compress/distort distance, this still looks very close to my eye. Probably well within the minimum 300 foot distance articulated by the law. The “head alert” position of the harbor seals, and the spectators on deck, reinforces the suggestion that the water taxi was close.

Sorry, comment time is over.
