12:19 PM: That pic is from the easternmost sale on the West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2019 map – Sale #276 is actually in South Park (8503 10th Ave. S.) but with at least one piece of classic West Seattle memorabilia – a sign from the old Chuck and Sally’s Tavern (hmm, maybe the one in our 2013 coverage of the tavern’s “closing sale”). Lemonade and ice-cream sandwiches too! … In Westwood, lemonade and treats are raising money for Seattle Children’s at Sale #120 (9819 28th SW):

    Not a good idea to close California at Lander. Not sure how long or if it’s still closed but it forced traffic on to already congested side streets, many where only one lane of traffic can get by at a time. Had to get creative to get home and noticed traffic was backed up all the way down Admiral to the west. Lots of honking.

      That’s the crane closure, mentioned here at least five times in the past week, possibly stretching into the early evening. Wish the contractor had chosen another day but perhaps they don’t consult community calendars. At least the weather is good for safety concerns.
