WEEK AHEAD: Who else is planning a presidential-debate-watching event in West Seattle?

8:08 PM: Tuesday (September 10) brings the first and likely only debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Several readers have asked us whether any place in West Seattle is planning a public debate-watching event. We haven’t heard of any, so we’re asking you if you have. It’s at 6 pm our time Tuesday, in Philadelphia, produced by ABC News. If you know of any events, please comment below (or email us, westseattleblog@gmail.com) – thank you!

8:50 PM: We’re changing the headline to “who else is …” because we’ve had our first reply: West Seattle Realty (WSB sponsor) and almost-neighbor Good Society are co-presenting a watch party, at the brewpub (California/Lander).

The epitome of spectacle. Who of the magically undecided could honestly be swayed by either of these characters at this point? Maybe there will be funny advertisements for toothpaste and non steroidal anti inflammatory treatments, though.

Starts 6pm; “Host network ABC News will make the debate widely available on all its
platforms. The presidential debate — which runs from 9-10:30 p.m. ET on
Tuesday, Sept. 10 — will air live on ABC and will stream live on ABC
News Live, Disney+ and Hulu.”

Yes, you can watch it many ways. But some people were interested in watching in a group situation, so that’s why we asked – in the spirit of “you asked, so we asked.”

  Just trying to be a helpful idiot because the start time was not specified and your piece begins with 8:08 PM : Tuesday, which might have someone thinking it begins at 8, and then, while at it, adding ways to watch because cord cutters don’t always know the alternative methods for streaming at home.

I read on Reddit just now that Whisky West is having a viewing party with some drink specials. Confirmed on their Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/share/p/3o5Ry6dqKfkFUrgy/.”The Presidential Debate will be played here on Tuesday, September 10th.
