Today/tonight: Scouting for Food, Movies on the Wall, more

| Fun stuff to do | How to help | WS culture/arts

Reminder – The Viaduct is closed till 6 pm for the first day of its semiannual inspection; the Battery Street Tunnel is closed around the clock till early Monday morning. But why leave West Seattle? Highlights from the latest West Seattle Weekend Lineup include:

SCOUTING FOR FOOD – You may have received a door hanger about this; we reported on it two weeks ago. Local Boy Scouts will go door to door to collect food donations to help fight hunger; if they’re not in your neighborhood, you can still take donations to the West Seattle Food Bank (map) 10 am-2 pm.

FRY BREAD FOR JUSTICE – 10 am-5 pm at the new Duwamish Longhouse (map) – $20 donation, food and entertainment to help the tribe raise money to keep fighting for federal recognition.

CASUAL INDUSTREES SALE – This sassy West Seattle clothing business doesn’t have a regular storefront but it’s opening the doors for a big sale this weekend – 6205 SW Admiral (map), 10 am-6 pm today.

FREE MOVIE – “Napoleon Dynamite” is the grand finale of the first-ever Winter Indoor Movies on the Wall series presented in The Junction by local businesses (including WSB!) – free (but bring money for concessions and nonprofit-benefiting raffle), 7 pm, the new West Seattle Christian Church activity center (map), bring your own chair(s), doors open at 5:30 pm.

“ECLECTIC” MUSIC – That’s how guitarist Andre Feriante described the show he and others will present in the Admiral Theater‘s Listening Room series at 9 tonight ($12).

Much, more more in the WSWL.

Regarding Casual Industrees Sale – this business needs to get a regular storefront on a property zoned for commercial activity (how about the old Pegasus space?) instead of constantly conducting commercial activities under the windows of their neighbors. A business operating a sale from a residential property that is visible from the street is in violation of Seattle Municipal Code 23.42.050. The code is designed to protect residential neighborhoods and maintain their non-commercial nature so that the residents can find refuge from commercial activity. The owners of Casual Industrees, although cited several times before for violations of this code, persist in ignoring it, showing a disregard for the well being of the neighborhood where they do business.

Sorry, comment time is over.
