Though the news of a tentative agreement late Tuesday night resulted in Seattle Public Schools opening as scheduled Wednesday, there’s still one big step this week for the new Seattle Education Association contract: The ratification vote. That’s set for Friday (September 11), with the union membership set to meet at Seattle Center’s McCaw Hall at 5 pm. Assuming it’s ratified, the contract’s details are expected to become public; superintendent Ben Shuldiner gave some hints when he met with media Wednesday morning at Alki Elementary, including that the accepted salary offer was a bit above the 8.8 percent over three years that the district had previously offered. The union’s announcement of the agreement, meantime, mentioned the issue on which their focus had been: “We won an 18-month collaborative community process to improve Special Education services.”
You might call it the first big event of fall in The Junction, though it’ll be a few days before the official arrival of autumn: The next West Seattle Wine Walk is happening Friday, September 18, and if you don’t have your ticket(s) yet, you might not want to wait much longer, as it often sells out.

Labor Day is usually fairly short on special events in West Seattle – a low-key end to summer – but the Alki Masonic Lodge in The Junction is an exception. Again this year, they’re inviting you to their annual ceremony changing the flag on the flagpole outside their lodge/event center (4736 40th SW). It’s happening tomorrow (Monday, September 7) at noon, followed by a picnic – free hamburgers and hot dogs; bring a side dish to share, if you can.
Thanks for the tip. West Seattle YMCA (WSB sponsor) members have received word that the main-building closure in The Triangle will last one day longer than planned. The announcement says plumbing repairs are taking extra time, so they now plan to reopen the main building on Wednesday (September 9). To compensate, on Tuesday they’ll open the Fauntleroy branch from 5 am to 9 pm for members’ use. As announced earlier this week, both branches have been closed this week for a variety of maintenance work and upgrades (as have some other Y branches in the region).
Family and friends will gather next Saturday to celebrate the life of Joan Hayden, and they’re sharing this remembrance with the community:
Our beloved mother, Joan Marie (Padden) Hayden, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2026, in Vancouver, Washington, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on February 18, 1955, in West Seattle, Joan was the oldest of five siblings and lived life with energy, color, enthusiasm, and joy.
Joan loved people and was always willing to help anyone in need. She was a second mother to many of her sons’ friends, welcoming them into her home and treating them as family. Her career included sales with Princess House Crystal, real estate with Stan Wiley, Prudential, and Persimmon, and retail work with JCPenney, Pier 1, and Fred Meyer. Joan loved to travel and, above all, cherished time with her family. She was a cancer survivor who volunteered with Relay for Life and cancer support groups in the Vancouver area, offering compassion and encouragement to others facing difficult journeys.
Joan was the beloved wife of Ron Hayden, her husband of more than 50 years, and a loving mother to Colin (Meagan) Hayden of Post Falls, Idaho, and Sean (Holly) Hayden of Brush Prairie, Washington and all her grandchildren. She is survived by her brother, Patrick Padden, and was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Marjory (O’Brian) Padden; her siblings, Chris (Robert) Treakle, Pauline Padden, and Mike (Vivian) Padden.
Joan leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, generosity, and countless memories. Her bright spirit and colorful personality will live on through her family, friends, and all those she welcomed into her life. She loved everyone, and she made everyone feel loved in return. A memorial service and celebration of Joan’s life will be held September 12th, 2026 at 2:00 PM at Elim Church in Brush Prairie, Washington.

Police investigated gunfire in North Admiral around 2 am today. According to archived police radio, a witness called 911 to say they saw someone in a “dark gray Cadillac sedan” fire at a Tesla Cybertruck at Hamilton Viewpoint, about 20 minutes before they called. Police subsequently reported finding at least one shell casing at the park entrance at California/Palm, and finding someone asleep in a parked Cybertruck nearby, uninjured. The witness did not provide a description of whoever was in the Cadillac but reported it was last seen southbound on California.
The sun emerged from clouds in time to bring Saturday to a colorful close. Thanks for the sunset photos! Above, by Kay Kendall; below, by Curry Gibson:
And from an unidentified texter:
Forecast suggests tomorrow might have the three-day weekend’s best weather – mostly sunny, low 70s. Today’s high was 70, which is five degrees cooler tha what’s normal for this date.
5:27 PM: SPD and SFD are arriving in the Roxhill Park area after a report that someone was stabbed. Updates to come.
5:32 PM: Officers told dispatch they have no suspect description so far. The victim is being taken to the hospital by SFD medic unit.
5:47 PM: The victim is reported to be a teenager. The scene, police told dispatch is toward the southwest side of the park, 29th/Cambridge.
5:59 PM: Police have cleared the scene. We’re checking with SFD on the victim’s condition, and asking SPD if they have any additional info.
7:23 PM: Updates – SFD spokesperson Kaila Lafferty says the victim, a man now believed to be 20 years old, was in critical condition when transported. SFD spokesperson Det. Brian Pritchard provided this summary:
Officers arrived and found a 20-year-old man suffering from a stab wound to the thigh and torso, near the soccer field. Officers provided aid until Seattle Fire Department arrived and transported him to Harborview Medical Center; his condition is unknown at this time. The victim stated that he did not know who stabbed him and gave no description of the suspect. Homicide and Assault Unit detectives are leading the investigating and will be working to determine what led to the stabbing. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Seattle Police Department Violent Crimes Tip line at (206) 233-5000.
4:32 PM: SFD and SPD are at California and Genesee, where a collision is reported to have involved a minivan driver and bicycle rider. The intersection is at least partially blocked, reportedly on the west side. More information when we get it.
4:48 PM: We’ll be checking with SFD on injuries. They canceled a dispatch for a medic unit – which would have been needed for serious injuries – and, according to a texter (who sent the photo above), transported at least one person by ambulance instead.
4:55 PM: SFD has closed the call.
6:14 PM: According to SFD spokesperson Kaila Lafferty, this involved a scooter, not a bicycle. Two teenagers were on the scooter and both were taken to hospitals by private ambulance: “Approximately 13-year-old female in stable condition” and “Approximately 14-year-old male in stable condition.”
Weekend after next, you can enjoy the work of more than 50 local artists by being part of this year’s free two-day West Seattle Art Tour. Here’s an update from organizers on how to get ready!

Thanks to Eddie (who sent the photos) and Kathy for the tips. Sound Transit has put up signage with new dates for the work it says will affect the bike/foot path by the West Seattle Bridge – September 12-20. Eddie explains it’s “the portion of the trail on the left of the picture” (below):
We haven’t found a digital version of the notice yet (the QR code on the sign goes to the main West Seattle Link Extension site, and it doesn’t appear to be posted there). The work, involving soil sampling, originally was set for last month, then postponed when workers discovered “unmarked utilities and communications cables.”
If you’re a Seattle Public Library user, here’s a reminder that they’re expecting a tech disruption starting Sunday night (September 6) as SPL launches a major overhaul, announced last month. Library branches will remain open (except for the West Seattle/Admiral branch, where unrelated HVAC work continues), but here’s what SPL says will be affected: “Access to patron accounts, the ability to place holds on physical materials, some online services, self-checkout stations, and pick-up lockers.” The announcement also noted, “Patrons will also need to bring their physical or digital library card when checking out materials during this time.” The SPL website says that’s expected to last a week – after the system’s Labor Day closure – more details here. Once they start the work, which is expected to be complete in early October, they’ll provide status updates here.

Our second stop on Friday night football rounds was Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex.
(WSB photos)
That’s where West Seattle High School opened their varsity-football season by hosting Eastside Catholic.
The Crusaders were a tough foe, though, and the Wildcats came away with a loss, 47-12.
Next week they’ll be on the road, playing Rainier Beach at noon Saturday, September 12, at Southeast Athletic Complex.
With both local high-school varsity football teams playing on the peninsula Friday night, we were able to drop in on both games.
(WSB photos)
First stop, West Seattle Stadium, where Chief Sealth International High School was the visiting team, facing Seattle Prep.
We spotted a high-profile spectator on the sidelines – below is first-year Seattle Public Schools superintendent Ben Shuldiner with longtime Chief Sealth athletic director Ernest Policarpio:
Going into halftime, the Seahawks were down 17-0.
Fans and Cheerhawks remained hopeful.
But CSIHS didn’t score in the second half either, and the final score was Prep 30, Chief Sealth 0. Next game is Thursday (September 10), 6 pm, hosting Roosevelt at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex (2801 SW Thistle).
Two West Seattle Crime Watch reports:
ATM ROBBERY ATTEMPT: Among the incident summaries released by SPD today was this one detailing a holdup attempt Wednesday night at a BECU ATM in The Whittaker (4755 Fauntleroy Way SW), scene of a robbery less than three weeks ago:
At 2050 hours, a female victim was attempting to deposit a check at a bank in the 4700 block of Fauntleroy Way Southwest, when two teenaged males, wearing dark clothing and masks, both armed with handguns, demanded the money from the victim account. She told them she had no money in her account and was attempting to deposit a check. Then the suspects demanded to see the check. When she showed them her check they fled on foot into a nearby black sedan, license plate unknown, and fled the scene eastbound at a high rate of speed.
PACKAGE THEFT: Video and report are from a reader:
I wanted to share a video of what appears to be an older white male, balding, holding a tote bag and wearing a blue backpack stealing packages from my front door. He took two packages 30 seconds apart on Tuesday. The contents of the packages are replaceable, but really disappointed to see this happening.
(WSB photos by Torin Record-Sand)
Though its HQ isn’t rebuilt yet, Highland Park Improvement Club hasn’t let that stop them from hosting community gatherings at the site – including First Fridays parties all summer.
(Above, first band of the night, Jed Zeppelin)
(Above, second band of the night, Disco Cowboys)
Tonight until 8:30 pm, you’re invited to the last one of 2026 – with two bands, a food truck, activities for all ages, and a resource table where you can bring something to leave to help a neighbor get through “The Big Dark” ahead – including a cookie and produce exchange.
Free admission (bring money for food and/or beverages if you want), all happening at the HPIC site, 12th/Holden.
More photos (and some video) to come!
And if you can be here by 7, they’re taking a season-ending group photo!
ADDED: After the group photo, it was back to the party. Tonight’s food truck was Chick’n Fix:
But the treats people brought for each other looked pretty tempting too:
Knowledge was shared as well – a lesson in fermenting:
More items to share, from puzzles to herbs:
And neighborhood spirit:
One week ago, city crews cleared the Roxhill Park encampment, less than a week and a half after a man was shot in the park. We asked Unified Care Team spokesperson Caitlin Moran for data from the sweep. She replied:
27 people were residing at the Roxhill Park encampment when the resolution took place on Aug. 28. The Unified Care Team (UCT) visited the site six times from Aug. 1-Aug. 28, with three people referred to shelter during this time frame.
UCT removed approximately 21,000 pounds of debris from Roxhill Park on Aug. 28 and 29.
One other note: While SFD callouts to the park had been relatively frequent – up to four per day – before the sweep, the logs show no visits there since last Monday. On that day, they had to deal with tree roots smoldering from a previous fire that had spread underground into the peat.
Both local high-school football teams have season-opener games tonight, both in West Seattle.
WEST SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL: The Wildcats open their season against Eastside Catholic, 7 pm at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex (2801 SW Thistle).
CHIEF SEALTH INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: The Seahawks open their season against Seattle Prep, 7 pm at West Seattle Stadium (4470 35th SW, Prep’s home field, so CSIHS is the visiting team).
Saturday at C & P Coffee (5612 California SW; WSB sponsor), WashMasks Mutual Aid is hosting a donation drive for students affected by the Spokane fires. Here’s the announcement sent to us to share with you:
SCHOOL SUPPLY DONATION DRIVE FOR SPOKANE STUDENTS
Join WashMasks Mutual Aid and C & P this weekend in helping bring much=needed school and art supplies to Spokane students. Let’s show up for our Eastern WA neighbors and ensure that these young people start the school year with support and joy. For more information, email us at washmasksmutualaid@proton.me
WHERE: C & P Coffee Company (5612 California Ave SW)
WHEN: Saturday, September 5, 10:00 am-2:00 pm
REQUESTED DONATIONS: backpacks (all sizes, new or gently used), pens (blue or black), pencils, erasers, highlighters, pencil/pen cases or pouches, pocket folders (three holes, portfolio), notebooks, planner, three ring binders, crayons, coloring pencils, or markers (new, please!), lined paper (wide and college ruled), construction paper, coloring books, calculators, lunch boxes, reusable water bottles, sneakers/gym shoes (grades K-12 for Health/P.E. class, new or gently used only), new or gently used art supplies
JUNCTION LAW-ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE: We’re still working on this one, but thanks for all the tips on a law-enforcement response at 41st/Alaska this past hour-plus. Unmarked vehicles and nothing in the radio traffic we are able to monitor. One passerby says they were told it was an arrest of a “violent offender” and it apparently wasn’t ICE as they said they weren’t immigration officers, and they weren’t masked. SFD treated a person at the scene for a “minor injury.” We’ll add anything more we find out. (3:15 PM NOTE: So far, no agency we’ve contacted has said this was their operation.)
GATEWOOD CAR THEFT: First, a resident near 41st/Austin sent this photo of an “awkwardly parked” Hyundai Elantra with tampered ignition:
Then, while we were writing this, we heard police dispatched, and were told it was taken from in front of the owner’s house a few blocks away. So a reunion is imminent
DUMPED BIKE: Recognize this bike?
Sometime yesterday afternoon someone dumped a child’s bike on our street. It looks like it was loved by the person who owned it and would love to see it make its way back to them.
There are stickers on the other side that would help the owner identify it as well as a unique handlebar bell. The current location is near the Lowman Beach area. If someone can correctly identify it, I can store it safely until they can pick it up.
