Ways to spend your West Seattle Saturday


(Brant along Alki, photographed by Jim Borrow, who reminds us that these are migratory geese, here for what’s left of the seagrass they need to survive, and that they are easily disturbed, “and often will avoid feeding if they are impacted by human or human-generated activity. Unleashed dogs chasing or swimming after birds on our beaches have a particularly negative impact.”)

From morning until night, lots happening! From the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

    Suggestion for those organizing work parties: Not all of us are “morning people.” Try scheduling a late afternoon event sometime. By the time I read about these things they’re almost over!

      As linked, we previewed these days ago, not just here on the list we published this morning. If they’re still too early for you, that’s one thing, but we do provide publicity for planning ahead, and they’re added to the WSB calendar days if not weeks in advance too, so anyone interested in planning way ahead can go there.

Sorry, comment time is over.
