The Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce is hosting an overview of the Seattle Department of Transportation’s West Mercer Project tomorrow, Thursday, May 19 from 11:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Executive Inn Best Western, located at 200 Taylor Avenue North. The meeting will include a presentation by SDOT’s Sonia Palma on the latest developments on the project. The event is $20 for chamber members and $25 for non members.
