Two things that were supposed to happen in West Seattle last Sunday but didn’t, because of the snow, ARE happening today:
WEST SEATTLE FARMERS’ MARKET – Back after an extremely rare cancellation. 10 am-2 pm, 44th/Alaska. Here’s the link to the latest Ripe ‘n’ Ready Fresh Sheet.
ADMIRAL SINGS CHRISTMAS – Feel like you missed out on the usual dose of Christmas music because of being snowbound? This West Seattle holiday-singalong tradition was postponed a week – and you’re welcome to join in at 4 pm today at Admiral Congregational Church, California/Hill (here’s a map). Read more about it here.
#1 – If you still suspect snow is swamping a storm drain near you, Seattle Public Utilities‘ Andy Ryan offers one more tidbit for finding it:
In general, most drains are located at natural low points along roadways or at the curb around intersections. Also, if someone is walking along a road, they might be able to get a sense of where the lowest area might be (at the bottom of a hill, at a dip in the road, next to a curb in a parking lot that collects water.
#2 – Yes, the West Seattle Farmers’ Market will resume tomorrow (after missing last week), 10 am-2 pm, 44th/Alaska. WSFM management notes it was the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS they decided to cancel a market for “scary weather.” (If you are a WSB newcomer, note that we always publish the link to the latest “Ripe and Ready” Farmers’ Market list early Sunday morning, for WSFM shoppers’ convenience.)
#3 – Guess what – Tamsen in Morgan Junction sent this follow-up on the garden gnome (here’s yesterday’s look): “My garden gnome is telling me it’s safe to go out ‘there’ now. I’m off to deliver some cookie and fudge trays, two days late and shop for some deals”:
We’re leaving WSB Cave (er, HQ) for a while ourselves.
No winter break for the West Seattle Farmers’ Market – it’s continuing year-round, and new additions pop up each week throughout the year. Here’s today’s list of what’s new and what’s fresh; the Farmers’ Market is open 10 am-2 pm, and those first couple hours are just the prelude to the first Hometown Holidays Sunday fun, Santa photos and all.
Time for the weekly Ripe ‘n’ Ready list from the West Seattle Farmers’ Market — and the “wild mushroom” category includes black truffles. WSFM is open 10 am-2 pm. 44th/Alaska (same place where we hope to see you at the West Seattle Tree Lighting at 5 pm next Saturday!).

FAUNTLEROY FALL FESTIVAL: One of the biggest events of the year, in the neighborhood that’s got a lot more going on than a ferry dock and megapark.
