(WSB photo, June 2024 solstice sunset watch)

Spring changes to summer at 7:42 pm Friday (June 20). Less than an hour later, you’re invited to join West Seattle educator/expert skywatcher Alice Enevoldsen at her Summer Solstice Sunset Watch, 8:30-9:30 pm at Solstice Park (upslope at 7400 Fauntleroy Way SW). Learn what really happens at the solstice; see (if the sun cooperates) the special view enabled by the park’s unique design; find out what’s on the horizon in the skywatching world. Free, fun, all ages, canceled unless it’s MAJOR rain (there is rain in the forecast right now, but certainly that could change – today was originally predicted to be showery).
