West Seattle Monday: Sights at sea; Triangle open house; more …

That photo is by, and used with permission from, Alisa Lemire Brooks, one of the people lucky enough to see another breathtaking orca visit in West Seattle waters – after passing the west-facing shores late yesterday, a group turned into Elliott Bay toward downtown, and put on quite a show. Will they be back today? Impossible to predict, but one sight that IS expected in the bay (and out into Puget Sound) is the debut appearance of the new state ferry Salish, being towed to Everett from Todd Pacific Shipyards on Harbor Island where it was built (here’s our Friday preview; the tow was scheduled to start around 8 am) … Biggest event in West Seattle tonight: Come get a firsthand look into the potential future of The Triangle, at an open house where you can see the street-use and land-use “concepts” the city has drawn up after months of advisory-group meetings. One concept could involve rezoning to allow 8-story buildings along SW Alaska in The Triangle, city planners mentioned during a presentation at last week’s Southwest District Council meeting. What would you want to see as this area evolves? Officially share your opinion during the 6-8 pm open house at the Senior Center of West Seattle (California/Oregon) … And 3 reminders from weekend coverage: It’s the first weekday since Metro’s latest service change; the Tony’s Market produce stand at 35th/Barton reopens today, with the late Tony Genzale‘s son Joey in charge, as reported here Saturday night; and the Lumpia World food truck, which drew lines in its Saturday debut (here’s the photo we tweeted), is expected back in the California SW Rite-Aid parking lot 11 am-2 pm today … More on the WSB calendar!
