HAPPENING NOW: Girl Scout Cookie time!

(WSB photo)

From Troop 45172, our photo features Elizabeth, Addison, and Melissa, at the Girl Scouts‘ cookie “booth” outside West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) in Morgan Junction late today. Theirs is one of many troops selling cookies around West Seattle (not to mention the rest of the region) starting tonight and continuing for two-plus weeks, through Sunday, March 20th. Here are the seven varieties on sale this year, $4 per box; here’s the lookup tool to find where and when local Scouts are selling cookies (or use the individual zip-code links in our preview from earlier this week). Sales tonight go until 8 pm.

I was with my daughter at the grocery store selling cookies yesterday and two different times my young daughter asked someone if they’d like Girl Scout cookies and they came back and said to her ‘No, Girl Scouts support Planned Parenthood and I do not support abortion’ and walked away. It happened twice. If someone has a beef with GS supporting Planned Parenthood they should bring it up with the GS corporation, not be rude to a young Girl Scout. She was a bit upset.
