Bridge traffic alert, art, shopping, Shakespeare x 2, more for your West Seattle Sunday

We start again today with a major traffic alert:

(SDOT camera’s latest look at the Spokane St. Viaduct)

EASTBOUND SPOKANE STREET VIADUCT CLOSED: Another reminder, the all-weekend-long closure continues for the Spokane Street Viaduct – the continuation of the high bridge from the Highway 99 overpass to I-5 – and that’s been backing up the rest of the eastbound bridge, since everyone has to exit to NB 99. This is for the ongoing resurfacing project, and the closure will be repeated next weekend.

Otherwise, here’s what’s happening on your summer Sunday, mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar (where you’ll find even more):
