Project Background and Scope In June 2024, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded the City of Seattle a $5.5 million Hazard Mitigation Grant to fund The Seattle Public Library’s Cooling Center Project. Through this project, the Library’s , Fremont, Queen Anne, University and West Seattle Branches are being equipped with efficient, electric HVAC systems to provide air conditioning and improved ventilation, allowing them to serve as shelters from extreme heat and wildfire . The new HVAC systems will replace old gas-powered furnaces, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 30 metric tons per location annually, and be equipped with energy recovery ventilators to increase their efficiency and longevity. The five branches within the scope of the Cooling Center Project were built over 115 years ago through the philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie. They are recognized and protected by local, state, and federal law as important historical and cultural landmarks. All project work planned at these five branches is being reviewed in advance by Seattle’s Landmarks Preservation Board to ensure the protection and preservation of their architectural character. HVAC installation at the University Branch is happening now, concurrent with its seismic retrofit and other major renovations. The Fremont and West Seattle branches will close from August 2026 through early November 2026 while their HVAC installations are underway. HVAC installations at the and Queen Anne branches will be complete in 2027. When this project is complete, all locations of The Seattle Public Library will have air conditioning. Share This
• Sat, Aug 8 — West Seattle community Day of Musical Instrument Donations to Music4Life, KeyBank Plaza @ SW corner of California SW and SW Alaska, West Seattle Family-friendlyMusic / performanceArts / cultureWest Seattle Community Day of Musical Instrument Donations to Music4Life : West Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (a tax-exempt org.) Saturday, August 8, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Key Bank at Alaska Junction (Corner of California Ave SW & SW Alaska Street in West Seattle) To receive and acknowledge donations of gently-used musical instruments for repair and refurbishing, to enable students in need to participate in school music programs. Types of Instruments Needed: All orchestra and band instruments, as well as guitars. Most needed: trumpets/coronets, clarinets, flutes, and violins. Music4Life is a local nonprofit organization that puts instruments into the hands of students whose families cannot afford to rent or purchase, making it possible for them to participate in school music programs. Many people have lovingly used musical instruments in their garages or attics, or in storage. When reminded, they ask themselves Why am I still carting this instrument around? Music4Life understands that some people have precious memories of their used musical instruments. We do not want a reluctant giver. We instead want donors who appreciate the unique value of instrumental music in the life and education of a child-and want all children regardless of family need, to experience it. Music4Life partners with preferred, local professional music repair shops for discounted restoration of these instruments. At last year’s event, we received 56 instruments to restore and distribute.

Last year’s race was a huge success, drawing over 15 clubs and 250+ paddlers across outrigger canoes and other craft — OC1, SUP, surfski, you name it. We’re expecting a similarly great turnout this year, and we’re especially hoping to grow our craft fleet. This year features three races: The 4-mile race, held right in front of Alki, is built for craft and OC6 crews. Two 12-mile races — Open and Men’s — are epic pushes that launch from Alki, loop around Blake Island, and finish back at Alki. It’s a great day, and we welcome everyone to join — whether you’re paddling or cheering from shore. Spectators are part of what makes Da Grind special. Bring family, friends, camp chairs, and picnic blankets to cheer paddlers to the finish line and soak up the festival atmosphere. Expect a lively start line, great sightlines from the beach, and an encouraging community vibe all day long. The short race starts at 9 am; the long races kick off at 10 am. Hope to see y’all there!
