here’s what’s happening for the rest of today/tonight, mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

A CLEANER ALKI: The local volunteer cleanup group is out until 11:30 am :

We’ve been helping Jeremy with a cleanup along the Duwamish Trail and look to do another section this week, this time we’ll start down under the First Avenue Bridge off Highland Park Way, which will more or less complete the West Seattle section of the trail all the way to the WS Bridge.

Parking & Meet-Up
Parking shouldn’t be a problem as there’s plenty under the bridge, but it’s a little confusing getting there. From West Seattle take West Marginal just past Subway, take a left on Highland Park Way and then another left on 2nd Ave SW, then a right on Michigan and follow around the underside of the bridge to parking. Look for the van. I’ll have my phone on me if you need to reach out at 206-852-9552.
