Theron Zahn from KOMO-4 is broadcasting off Mee Kwa Mooks Park and Beach Drive covering Seattle's recent and pending weather.  I had a few moments to interview him where he predicted a beautiful sunny day for Saturday.  Sunday will start off a little grey with a marine overcast which should burn off.   Note that it's sunny enough for shadows in the picture!

Neighbors, I hope you have a wonderful sunny weekend–we're all due!

I was just on Facebook when I noticed that the West Seattle Blog commented that it's going to be be unusually windy today.   I had just checked the forecast yesterday and the forecast has been modified (which is why it's a good idea to check the forecast).
