One more look at that showstopper sunset from Wednesday night – courtesy of David Hutchinson. (Here’s our gallery of photos shared last night – thank you again to everyone who shares photos, from sunsets to breaking news and more!) Between now and tonight’s sunset, whatever it brings, here are the spotlight events from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

JUNCTION NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: This month’s rescheduled meeting is tonight at 6:30 pm at the Senior Center of West Seattle. From JuNO director René Commons:
Lezlie Jane, West Seattle artist, will engage our community with a presentation for two art installations she is creating for Junction 47 – the new building on California & Alaska, kitty-corner from Easy Street Records. There are 11 small glass sculptures and 10 historical bronze panels planned for exterior niches around the building. JuNO has been involved with the WS Community group working with the City behind the scenes for five years to seek amenities like wider sidewalks, underground utilities and artwork for our community. We will discuss concepts for 10 historical panels and glass sculptures.
Please join us if you can to provide community input!
All are welcome. (Oregon/California)
