Highlights for today/tonight from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

WADING POOLS, INCLUDING ONE CLOSING AFTER TODAY: The city says wading pools will be open today. But in West Seattle, aside from Lincoln Park (daily through Labor Day, 11 am-8 pm, 8011 Fauntleroy Way SW), it’s the final week for most; and today is the EC Hugheswading pool’s last day (noon-7 pm, 2805 SW Holden). Also open today: Hiawatha (noon-6:30 pm, Walnut/Lander).

NATIONAL THRIFT SHOP DAY POP-UP: As previewed here and here, a former shipping container has been recycled into an example of what you can do with thrift-shop stuff, and it’s open to the public on the north lawn at Don Armeni Boat Ramp until 8 pm. (1222 Harbor SW)

LATINO CULTURAL CELEBRATION AT MYRTLE RESERVOIR PARK: If you’ve missed previous performances at local parks, you have another chance – 6 pm at Myrtle Reservoir Park, a fusion of music, dance, and poetry, explained in our calendar listing. Free. (35th/Myrtle) **UPDATE: After going over at 6 and finding nothing happening, we researched further. Our source was the “Arts in Parks” brochure listing this at 6 pm. But the performers’ website says 7 pm.**

MUSIC AT THE MOUNT: Maia Santell and House Blend are performing tonight on the south side of the Providence Mount St. Vincent campus as their free summer concert series continues. Dinner (tonight’s entree is skirt-steak salad) is available for purchase starting at 5:30; show at 6. Free popcorn and snow cones! (4831 35th SW)
