WHAT’S DIFFERENT: No school, no mail, no government offices (with a few exceptions), no banks, Metro on a Sunday schedule, King County Water Taxi on a Saturday schedule (as are the shuttle buses that feed it), community centers and libraries closed

WHAT’S THE SAME: Trash/recycling/yard waste pickup, Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry on regular schedule, West Seattle liquor store open, Colman Pool open, Southwest Pool open

WEST SEATTLE MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE: 2 pm, Forest Lawn (details here)

COFFEE, ANYONE? We don’t usually compile a complete list for this holiday – Thanksgiving and Christmas are a different story! – but we can tell you that our coffee-shop sponsors, Hotwire Coffee and Coffee at the Heights, are both open today: Hotwire is open 7 am-6 pm (and is now offering smoothies, too!), C-a-t-H is open 6:30 am-3 pm.
