If anybody was really interested in what this was about (it was on our events calendar but we had five other must-cover things to get to last night, so this year we didn’t stop by), you would have found it in past WSB news reports – we’ve dropped by every couple years. As DBP notes, generally a pretty tame event.

You can see some photos of broken windows, etc on the Twitter.com site. Memories of the WTO events.

Terrible Beauty to Rite Aid has all been repaved since last September. That’s Edmunds to Hudson to Dawson.

As for city councilmembers, Tom Rasmussen is the only one who lives in West Seattle. No recent paving projects anywhere near his neighborhood.

@DBP…we would never fire you–even if it was possible! ;0)
Hey folks, we just posted another one of our Silent Auction Fliers on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/furryfacesfoundation
Ventana Construction has donated ‘A Carpenter For A Day’! Anne & Clarence, the owners, live & work right here in West Seattle. Talk about local!
Did we mention that they will be restoring/putting our Leader’s house back together (she had a house fire in January). Out of all the Construction companies that contacted her, she selected Ventana Construction. But wait, there is more to the story….be sure to ask out Leader when you are at Catsino Silent Auction.
BTW…
There is also an after-party at Company. And in the school of “pay it forward,” Vera announced a few hours ago that she’s organizing a cash mob for another business a week later. Not in WS/WC, but one with which she often deals. Facebook event in case she doesn’t drop by here to mention it (all this will be in our forthcoming blurb but I just happen to be breezing through here at the moment):

I’m not the official F3 PR person, but I’m gonna do a refresher on this anyway. Here’s the WSB event calendar graphic:

I fear that an important piece of the STEM enrollment article got overlooked or misunderstood. See article and comments:
West Seattle schools: 226 assigned to K-5 STEM at Boren
What is wonderfully unique about the enrollment process for Boren is that the district is willing and able to OPEN MORE CLASSROOMS where there is interest! Chances are, the people who got waitlisted are really just waiting for more people to enroll so that they can open an additional classroom rather than waiting for people to leave. This is a HUGE opportunity for families.
Most schools do not have this sort of capacity for growth at this time. STEM does. For now. This school is going to be amazing. I imagine it having Pathfinder-worthy waiting lists in the next few years as the program specifics become known and understood.
So, don’t get discouraged because you hear there is a waiting list! The more kids that enroll, the more classrooms they can open, the more opportunities available to our children. Remember, you don’t lose your current school seat until you have a guaranteed spot at STEM. Not enough kids to open that extra classroom? No worries, you don’t lose your current seat. You can weigh your options and apply for enrollment through the end of September (though sooner is better for everyone involved).
Yes, there is a limit to how many classrooms can feasibly be opened in each grade but you will find greater flexibility here than anywhere else in WS right now.

If not convenient to preview the parking entrance/exit Jan mentions – we have pix here:
West Seattle Trader Joe’s: Murals, parking … and opening date!
If you’re westbound on Fauntleroy, turn right at “The Hole.”
Note that the SDOT Fauntleroy/Alaska camera has long had a direct view of that spot. Just in case you want to check the traffic-cams page.

What about heading south to Seahurst? We haven’t been on their trails, just to play at the beach. But they do have maps of trails, so worth checking out. https://burienwa.gov/facilities.aspx?pagenum=4&RID=19&Page=detail
The 4th Avenue ramp will be closed as of Thursday morning, when the traffic moves over to the north side of the highway, temporarily: https://westseattleblog.com/2012/04/spokane-st-viaduct-switchover-5-am-thursday-confirms-sdot
We have reported this several times in the past two months.
From our coverage of February’s 34th District Democrats meeting:

Searching hint, if you hadn’t already tried this – To most optimally use the search box at top right on the site to find forum posts, always include the word forum – I found this by using same-sex marriage church forum as the query string.

… and that said, somebody has gone and organized one. Not related, apparently, to the Facebook page about which someone posted separately here in the forum a few days ago. https://westseattleblog.com/?p=105566
https://www.facebook.com/#!/CMSeattle Cast your vote on FB- I suggest Kokora’s Greek Restaurant, on California Ave SW. They are wonderful Mom/Pop operation. Awesome authentic Greek food. Cheers and good eating!
