As we write and publish this, we don’t know whether the stormy forecast for this afternoon/evening will come true or not, so all we can do is list the scheduled events, and if there’s any word of weather-related cancellation(s), we’ll update you as part of our storm coverage. For now, from the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide and year-round Event Calendar, here are the highlights:
