We start again today with some reminders meant to be helpful as temperatures rise. One reader asked us today about an updated list of all types of local, open-to-public businesses with air conditioning – we haven’t had the bandwidth to update that list in a while but if you have suggestions (especially, our reader suggested, for happy hour!), please comment, and we’ll add them below. Meantime, the city’s suggestions:
WEST SEATTLE LIBRARY WITH AIR CONDITIONING
High Point Library – 11 am-6 pm (35th SW/SW Raymond)
