Looking ahead to tonight – first, while it’s not happening in West Seattle, this is of interest to thousands here:

SPECIAL SCHOOL BOARD MEETING: As mentioned in our ongoing coverage (newest update here) of whether Seattle Public Schools will start classes tomorrow as scheduled or whether there’ll be a strike, the SPS Board has a special meeting at 5:30 pm tonight to consider authorizing legal action against the Seattle Education Association. The meeting will start and end in public session but will also include a closed-door session. 5:30 pm, district HQ in SODO. (3rd S. & S. Lander)

Meantime, on the peninsula, two community-council meetings lead tonight’s list:
