HAPPENING NOW: Junction Ace Hardware celebrates what’s new – and what’s not
(Ribboncutting, emceed by West Seattle Chamber of Commerce executive director Rachel Porter)

If you haven’t been inside the store for a while, check out new additions there too:
The party’s on until 2 pm, but store hours today continue until 6 pm.
