While West Seattle Summer Fest last weekend was the single biggest event of the summer here, today is the single biggest day of multiple major events. So hang on as we race through the highlights from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar – and remember that buses are rerouted off California SW between Lander and Edmunds because of three of the events below, and the street will close to other traffic by 8 or so:

(Added: Parking-enforcement officers gathered at Hiawatha)

CSWS YARD SALE FUNDRAISER: 8 am-8 pm, the annual Community School of West Seattle yard sale and bake sale. (9450 22nd SW)

BLOOD DRIVE TO HELP A STUDENT: 9 am-3 pm at Southwest Community Center, donate blood to help the Shalise Bosworth Scholarship Drive – walk-ups welcome; no donating during 11 am-noon break. (2801 SW Thistle)

FLOAT DODGER 5K: 9:30 am, the annual pre-parade 5K starts from in front of West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor), heading down California SW and back. Wear a costume and have a great time on the parade route – then watch the parade from the beer garden inside WSR! (2743 California SW)

WSHS VOLLEYBALL CAR WASH: 10 am-3 pm, get your car washed in the Les Schwab lot for a donation to the West Seattle High School Volleyball program. (Fauntleroy/Alaska)

WESTCREST PARK DOG PARTY: 10 am-2 pm, people and pets are invited to celebrate West Seattle’s only off-leash area! Contests and drawings – details here. (9000 8th SW)

KIDDIE PARADE: Back to the parade-related activities! Kids and their families are invited to be part of this mini-parade preceding the West Seattle Grand Parade. It heads south from California/Genesee at 11 am.

WEST SEATTLE GRAND PARADE: 11 am is the official start time for the big annual parade, but if you’re watching from the start of the parade route at California/Lander, you’ll want to be in place by 10:30 or so, as the motorcycle drill teams usually get going a bit earlier. More than 90 entries from floats and marching bands and drill teams, to school, business, community groups; the parade is presented by West Seattle Rotary and continues southbound along California to Edmunds in The Junction.

MEDITERRANEAN FANTASY FESTIVAL: 11 am-7 pm, the first of two days full of belly dancers and vendors on the east lawn at Hiawatha Community Center and in the gym, as previewed here. (2700 California SW)

FIRE STATION 11 OPEN HOUSE: As previewed here yesterday, FS 11 in Highland Park is open 11 am-1 pm today for an open house showing off its seismic and safety upgrades. (16th/Holden)

KIDS’ STORY TIME: 11:30 am, story time at Chaco Canyon Organic Café (WSB sponsor) in The Triangle with children’s-book author Alexis St. John. (3770 SW Alaska)

WSHS CLASS OF 1970 REUNION: Noon-4 pm, 45-year-reunion picnic at Shelter #1 on Alki Beach – details in our original preview. (62nd/Alki)

COVE PARK AND BARTON PUMP STATION: 2-4 pm, celebrate the reopening of Cove Park and the completion of the Barton Pump Station Upgrade after three years. Just north of the Fauntleroy ferry terminal, with a ribbon-cutting celebration and tours of the pump station – closed-toe shoes are required if you want to take a tour. More info here. (9005 Fauntleroy Way)

WEST SEATTLE OUTDOOR MOVIES: 6:30 pm, gates open at the courtyard next to Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) for this year’s first movie, “Zoolander.” The movie starts at dusk. It’s free – bring money for concessions presented by and benefiting the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, and bring your own chairs/blankets. (4410 California SW)

With all that happening today – we also have two notes about what’s **NOT** happening today:

COLMAN POOL CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC: Second day of a 2-day swim-meet closure at the outdoor pool on the shore at Lincoln Park. Back open to the public on Sunday.

NO ALKI POINT LIGHTHOUSE TOURS TODAY: But they too will resume tomorrow.

And a non-WS note:

WHITE CENTER JUBILEE DAYS: All weekend long, it’s the Jubilee Days street fair, so 17th SW is closed south of Roxbury. For the entertainment schedules and other info, go here.
