The Argosy Christmas Ship™ festival is a holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition for 60 years. Its main purpose is to bring communities together to celebrate the holiday season. From our flotilla of ships to the crowds of people who gather onshore, this celebration is one of the gems of the holiday season. More. Photo/Argosy

I wrongly pulled up a schedule that put the ships at Atlantic City park on 12/2 @ 7:50.
Needless to say, we sat around in the cold & dark with no music but what was coming from Saar’s. Good thing is we decided to catch the last half hour of McGinn’s town hall.

Was it as bland as it seemed?

Argosy (and the RVP, above) says the Christmas Ships are going to Pritchard Beach, but the Seattle Times says they’re coming to Atlantic City beach by the boat ramp, which is where they have always come in the past.
I think I’ll just look for the bonfire that the Parks dep’t sets up and go there tonight. It’s usually a good time.

SaWEET sounds. Early, but sweet.

Unrelated, but does anyone know what brought 10) emergency vehicles to the 2800 block of South Orcas around 11 p.m. last night? Real-time 911 classifies it as “Rescue Automobile” — does that mean there was a car accident?

Offensive language. Not necessary.

Oh, damn. What I heard was the response to that car accident in which a woman was killed.

No,I did use some unnecessary words.
All my own f@cking fault. Kirkland and my sister are both tops with me; my jokes aren’t.
