Happy Saturday! Before we get to the highlights, traffic reminders:

PAVING TO CLOSE EDMUNDS AT 40TH ALL WEEKEND: As announced Thursday by SDOT, 40th/Edmunds will be repaved this weekend and next, and they expect to close Edmunds at that spot all weekend long, 9 am today until 5 pm Sunday.

WHILE WE’RE MENTIONING TRAFFIC ALERTS: If you’re leaving the peninsula, remember that eastbound Highway 520 east of I-5 is closed all weekend, which means extra pressure on I-90 crossing the lake.

Now, on to what’s happening, from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

RECYCLING/REUSE EVENT IN THE JUNCTION: 9 am to 1 pm, you can drop off your recyclables for free at this event presented by the West Seattle Junction Association and partners. Go here to see what they will and won’t accept. It’s in the WSJA parking lot off 42nd SW south of SW Oregon.

    Yay on that 40th and Edmunds repair.  That sewer manhole has been “crowning” that street for years.

Sorry, comment time is over.
