West Seattle Saturday: Admiral Adopt-A-Street; ‘Stand with the Duwamish’; lighthouse tours; Meaningful Movie; more…

Before we get to what’s up today/tonight, a few words from photographer Ann Anderson about the scene she captured above, at Seacrest on Thursday night: “The fisherman identified himself as ‘Wild Bill’ and his catch as ‘Pinks’ (pink salmon). These pinks have come back to the Duwamish River to spawn after 1 1/2 years in the ocean. … Pinks are only allowed to be caught during odd number years, so 2015 is open season for them. They should be running through mid-to-late September.” Now, catch some of the highlights from our calendar for today/tonight:
