The photo is from Khalid Agour of Itto’s Tapas, giving us a peek inside his close-to-opening High Point coffee shop Nos Nos. Our previous update was in September, and we’ve received many requests for an update, so we checked with him. Here’s the status of the shop at 35th/Graham:

We are very excited about Nos Nos opening in the High Point neighborhood to serve our community. Finally the buildout is done. We are now in the process of hiring and training baristas. We are shooting for mid-December. … We can’t wait to open our doors to you all!

Family and friends will gather December 9th to remember Elizabeth J. “Betty” Novotny. Here’s the remembrance her family is sharing with the community:

Elizabeth J. Novotny
Feb. 24, 1914 – Nov. 26, 2019

Betty passed away just 3 months short of her 106th birthday.

She was born in Chicago and lived in that area until she retired and moved to the Northwest. She lived in West Seattle for 43 years. She is preceded in death by her son Bob Seger and husband Joe Novotny. She is survived by her daughter Penny Mulligan, 8 grandchildren, a bunch of great-grandkids, and several great-great-grandkids.

She and Joe loved to camp and travel and she could paint a mean mountain scene. She was loved by all and will be missed by all. Special thanks go to the Daystar care givers who took such good care of her for 5+ years.

Funeral service will be December 9th, 11:00 am, at the Yarington Funeral Home.

You still have a few hours to be part of Small Business Saturday – we peeked in at three WSB sponsors in The Junction:

AGAIN & AGAIN/KID FRIENDLY FOOTWEAR (4832 California SW): Need to weatherproof your little one?

We found a rack full of those colorful coveralls, among many other types of kids’ items. (And if you’re looking for work, they told us they need help! Especially if you specialize in multitasking.)

MY THREE LITTLE BIRDS (4736 California SW): First holiday season in The Junction for this just-moved shop:

The spacious new space holds a variety of kid stuff for family shopping. And they’re having a SBS sale – 40 percent to 60 percent off select items/brands.

VAIN (4513 California SW): It’s not just a hair salon – it’s a boutique!

The SBS sale at VAIN is a discount on hair products. Keep watch for other shopping events throughout th season.

P.S. Come to The Junction tomorrow to visit Santa’s House on the south end of the Farmers’ Market, 11 am-2 pm – free holiday face-painting!!

In the chilly almost-winter sunshine, here’s a reason to dream about spring: Registration time for Southwest Lacrosse Club (WSB sponsor)! Teams play a March-to-June season, with preseason practices starting in February – twice weekly, with games on Saturday, except for high-school-age players, whose practices and games are on weekdays. The girls’ program has 3rd/4th-grade and 5th/6th-grade teams; the boys’ program has 3rd/4th grade, 5th/6th grade, 7th/8th grade, and high school.

It’s back to business as usual at Duke’s on Alki today (2516 Alki SW) after repairs to a pipe that broke in subfreezing weather Friday morning. (That’s the situation that was logged as “major water job” on the SFD log, though their crews weren’t there for long.) Duke’s management contacted us this morning to get the word out that they have fixed the problem and are back open regular hours today, 11 am-11 pm.
