Welcome to the weekend! Here are (updated) 12 notes for the day/night ahead …

TRAFFIC ALERTS: Another weekend of work at West Marginal/Highland Park Way, scheduled until 1 pm today and again 3 am-1 pm tomorrow, with lane reductions, so avoid that intersection until later in the day if you can. Also, southbound Delridge Way remains closed between Holden and Trenton.

MUSIC AT C & P: Marco de Carvalho and Friends play at C & P Coffee (5612 California SW; WSB sponsor) 10:30 am-noon.

LEMONADE & TREATS: Happening 11 am-5 pm at 42nd/Charlestown:

Hi! My name is Harper and me and my friend, Akemi, are 11 year old scouts who just completed our bronze award by making the inclusion fence at HPIC. We are having a lemonade stand this weekend to help raise money to go to Costa Rica in 2022 so we can learn about sea turtles and explore the amazing rainforests. Marine animals have always fascinated us and this trip will be an amazing experience, especially because Akemi wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up! Please help us reach Costa Rica by buying lemonade, iced coffee, or treats!

(Update: Postponed until next Saturday) BENEFIT BARBECUE: 11 am-4 pm outside West Seattle Thriftway (4201 SW Morgan; WSB sponsor), get a fresh-grilled hamburger or hot-dog lunch and the proceeds go to Pencil Me In For Kids.

ART SHOW/SALE: West Seattle artist Linda McClamrock would love to see you at her driveway art show/sale at 5532 SW Lander Place, 11 am-5 pm
