The West Seattle YMCA (3622 SW Snoqualmie; WSB sponsor) is closed today through September 9th. The Y website explains that this is “Facility Improvement Week,” with reopening scheduled for Monday, September 10th.

ADDED 1:12 PM: We asked West Seattle/Fauntleroy Y executive director Shalimar Gonzales for a few more details about the closure: “‪During this time we perform normal maintenance including deep cleaning, resurfacing and repainting the basketball court, regrouting the pool, and more!” This is just the branch in The Triangle – the Fauntleroy location remains open, regular hours.
