The spotlight photo is in honor of the West Seattle Soccer Club‘s recordsetting fall season (2,000+ players, 340+ volunteer coaches) starting its second weekend. In all, lots going on today! Here are the highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

PORT OF SEATTLE BOAT TOUR: If you’re going on this, you should already have RSVP’d; we’re just mentioning it as a reminder. The port’s free boat tour for West Seattleites, to show off the “working waterfront,” leaves Pier 66 downtown at 9:30 am.

SECOND-TIME SALE: 9 am-3 pm in the Fellowship Hall at Fauntleroy Church. Volunteers worked hard Friday to get everything ready:

    I think WestFest is the Best. The food and the folks working at the fair.

    Great selection of stuff at the Second-Time Sale. The book section had a very helpful and informative man working in it that assisted me with my picks, ended up with a bunch of books for only four dollars and fifty cents.

      Glad to hear it! Encore session 11 am-1 pm Sunday, whatever’s left …

    Its too bad the Port of Seattle boat tour to show West Seattleites the working waterfront has to depart from downtown. If only we had a dock in West Seattle…
