Happy Saturday! We start with a traffic/road-work alert:

But why leave? So much is going on right here on the peninsula. From the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

FAUNTNEAU TRIANGLE WORK PARTY: 9 am-noon, help start the transformation of the Fauntleroy/Juneau/39th triangle – more info in our calendar listing.

    And!  Duwamish Alive events around the peninsula.  I will be at Roxhill Bog with long time native plant steward Scott Blackstock.  9:30 – 2:00, tools provided.

      Of course! Sorry, we’ve previewed it (since they really want people to pre-register), it’s been in our calendar, etc., but somehow I omitted it in the list. There now. And we have a photographer already assigned to multiple locations including The Bog. – TR

      Just checked our mailbox (editor@westseattleblog.com) – didn’t get an announcement of that.

Sorry, comment time is over.
