Our calendar page is ailing today as an after-effect of last night’s technical trouble, but we hope to have it fixed soon. Meanwhile, here are six things you should know about:

CITY BUDGET REVIEW CONTINUES: Happening now at City Hall, Day 2 of the City Council’s budget review. The agenda has links to individual departments’ presentations. The first session is under way now; the second is scheduled to start at 2 pm. You can watch via Seattle Channel. (600 4th Avenue)

DROP-IN PRESCHOOL ART: 11 am-noon at Delridge Library: “Join our guest teacher, Miss Lisa, to complete art projects using nature, recycled materials, and more! For ages 2-5.” (5423 Delridge Way SW)

SOUTHWEST ARTIST SHOWCASE DROP-OFF: Want to be part of the Southwest Library‘s 27th annual Artist Showcase? Just stop by the library today (open until 8 pm), tomorrow, or Saturday and drop off up to three pieces of your visual art. (9010 35th SW)

FAMILY BRISTLEBOT CHALLENGE: LibraryLab program, 4-5:30 pm at High Point Library: “Work together to design, tinker, and test your own family Bristlebot robot.” (3411 SW Raymond)

WEST SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION COALITION: 6:30 pm at Neighborhood House High Point Center:

WSTC’s first meeting back after our summer hiatus is going to be a doozy! January 11, 2019 was just announced as the beginning of the three-week-long SR99 viaduct-to-tunnel cutover closure. This will be the longest major highway closure the Puget Sound region has ever seen. Washington State Department Of Transportation will be at our September meeting to tell us all about the closure and what comes next. Unless you plan to remain in West Seattle the entire three weeks SR99 is closed, you will definitely want to attend this meeting!

RIVERVIEW PLAYFIELD HOURS CHANGE? As previewed here last week, the city Board of Park Commissioners has a hearing tonight on whether to open Riverview Playfield later and close it earlier to address various issues. The agenda also includes a briefing on another issue of West Seattle interest, Parks’ viewpoints – here’s the document for that. The board meets at 6:30 pm at Parks HQ downtown. (100 Dexter Ave. N.)
