Before we get too much further into your Thursday, a quick look at some big things happening tonight:

WEST SEATTLE ART WALK, HOLIDAY EDITION: That’s the map/venue list for tonight’s Art Walk – which also features carolers and Santa Claus! The Art Walk officially starts at 5 pm. Looking for ideas on which venues to visit? Here’s the official preview spotlighting some of the artists and venues! And there’s music – not only The Art of Music featuring Marina Christopher, but also the Silver Belles caroling! Santa Claus will be wandering too. Look for those extra holiday guests after 6 pm in the heart of The Junction – California SW between Oregon and Edmunds – but the Art Walk has stops all over The Junction.

SHOP LATE THURSDAY: In The Junction, this is happening tonight too. Many shops will be open until 9 pm.
