Here’s what’s happening in West Seattle today/tonight as we start the month that will bring the start of Daylight Saving Time and spring:

MARDI GRAS #1: Here’s where to celebrate in West Seattle with food and/or beverages today/tonight.

CITY COUNCIL: Their weekly meeting is at 2 pm, online, with items including another delay in the heating-oil tax. The agenda explains how to comment; Seattle Channel is where to watch.

DEMONSTRATION FOR RACIAL JUSTICE: 4:30-6 pm at 16th/Holden, Scott leads the weekly demonstration for racial justice. Signs available if you don’t have your own.

CHAT WITH YOUR COUNTY COUNCILMEMBER: If you’re not watching the State of the Union at 6 pm – or maybe even if you are (multitasking!) – you can join a live online “town hall” with our area’s King County Councilmember Joe McDermott. Go here to get the participation link/number.

TAE KWON DO: Also at 6 pm – first class of the month is tonight:

The West Seattle Tae Kwon Do Club is offering in-person classes at High Point Community Center in March. Adults (18 and older) can sign up to learn Tae Kwon Do, a Korean martial art known for its fast sparring techniques, dynamic forms, and strong kicks. Classes cost only $40/month and meet Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00-7:30 pm and Saturdays 9:30-11:30 am. The first class for March is on Tuesday, March 1 from 6:00-7:30 pm. We will be wearing face masks and will be appropriately distanced for safety. New students can join at any time and beginners are definitely welcome!
