With all the weather wildness we’ve had these past few days, why are we showing a photo from last month’s snow/ice trouble, you ask? At 9:30 this morning, the Seattle City Council‘s Transportation Committee – chaired by West Seattle-residing Councilmember Tom Rasmussen – hears from the people who run Metro and SDOT, among others, regarding what didn’t go so well during the big “Snowvember” days. Here’s the agenda; you can watch live via Seattle Channel, online or on cable channel 21. … Tonight, a couple of holiday entertainment highlights: The Westside Symphony/West Seattle Big Band concert at the Chief Sealth International High School auditorium (2600 SW Thistle), 7 pm, as previewed here last night; also, “A Tuna Christmas” starts its second-to-last week at ArtsWest (WSB sponsor) with a performance at 7:30 tonight (tickets available online here) … One more event from the WSB West Seattle Holidays page – the 1954 classic “White Christmas” screens this afternoon at Merrill Gardens at West Seattle (WSB sponsor), 4611 35th SW (map), free admission/snacks, (206) 932-5480 if you have questions. … One community meeting tonight: Admiral Neighborhood Association, 7 pm, Admiral Congregational Church (California/Hill).
