We’ll have a full daily list in the morning as always, but in case you’re about to unplug, here are six things to know about the Fourth of July in West Seattle!

BUSINESS CLOSURES/CHANGES: Here’s the list we’ve been adding to after putting out a call for info earlier this week. Not too late to add to it – email westseattleblog@gmail.com or text 206-293-6302.

KIDS’ PARADE: 10 am, starting from 44th SW/Sunset SW in North Admiral, proceeding to Hamilton Viewpoint Park for sack races and other activities, details here.

ART GLASS SECONDS SALE: A Fourth of July tradition at Avalon Glassworks (2914 SW Avalon Way), 10 am-2 pm.

FIRST FRIDAY, HOLIDAY EDITION: Want to celebrate with friends and neighbors? Highland Park Improvement Club is continuing its First Friday events at the past-and-future HPIC site, 12th SW/SW Holden, (updated) 5:30-8:30 pm, this time including hot dogs and a pie bake-off!

FIREWORKS: The big show is over Lake Union at 10:15 pm (and shown live by KONG TV) and many will crowd north-facing West Seattle viewpoints to get a partial view of them. … If you’re looking for what else is visible from here, southwest West Seattle might have a view of the Vashon Island fireworks at dusk over Quartermaster Harbor. And the highest easternmost points in WS, with a distant view of Bellevue, might be able to see those 10:05 pm fireworks

LOSE OR FIND A PET? The noisiest night of the year tends to lead to more lost/found pets. Remember that WSB has for more than a decade and a half kept West Seattle’s original lost/found pets page – send info/photo to us at westseattleblog@gmail.com or via text 206-293-6302.
