Welcome to Saturday! First –
TRAFFIC REMINDER: The 35th/Alaska intersection is closed for weekend work, but the closure has far-reaching effects – here’s our update from last night.
Now – what’s up, from the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide and Event Calendar:
PAJAMARAMA: 9 am-noon in The Junction:
Shop in your jammies! This is your chance to shop in your pajamas! Get your cozy flannels on and come to the Junction for Pajamarama! At participating merchants receive a free limited edition diner mug w/ $20 purchase (you must be wearing your PJs). Or simply bring a mug with you. Either way, we’ll fill it with free hot cocoa (w/whipped cream and sprinkles) at the cocoa-filling station run by the Junction volunteers. So grab your friends, and have a fun morning shopping and brunching. Find the cocoa station cozied inside the Junction Windermere across from CAPERS. Your Junction merchants will also be wearing jammies!
