Thanks to Trileigh Tucker for the baby-hummingbirds photo! But unless you’re a baby bird, this is going to be too nice a night to just hang around the nest. Here are five highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

LIVE MUSIC AT SALTY’S: 5-8 pm, the Dave Holo Trio gets jazzy at Salty’s on Alki (WSB sponsor), and you know it’s going to be a gorgeous night by the water. No cover/minimum; happy-hour specials until 6 pm. (1936 Harbor SW)

WARRIOR’S CALL: HEALING THROUGH SERVICE: 7 pm at the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center, hear from the veterans of VeteransRespond, who “felt called to support environmental rights and Native Lands”:

The event will feature brave warriors who are veterans of both the US Armed Services and of the Standing Rock Movement. Joseph George, an Air Force Veteran; Brandee Paisano, a US Navy Veteran and Laguna Pueblo Native; and Mark Sanderson, a US Army Veteran and recipient of the Purple Heart, will be among the powerful speakers telling their stories.
