Workers are almost done with applying new siding to the West Seattle Eagles building. Once the caulking has cured, new paint will follow.

The building is getting a minor facelift with new siding going up right now. Once the caulking has cured, a new paint will be applied. What color? Not the same one said, current Eagles President John Ledeman. "Something that is appropriate for the Junction and sets us apart from the Post Office," he explained.
There are no structural changes planned for the interior at this time but the club is alway making some kind of improvements.
The West Seattle Eagles has been a part of the community since 1947 and many people don't know a lot about them.
Their motto is "We are People Helping People."
Their website explains:
"Simply, we change lives for the better. Over the years, our members have contributed millions of dollars to medical centers and causes ranging from diabetes to cancer. We help troubled youth, support the elderly, and uplift the less fortunate.
For 120 years, the Fraternal Order of Eagles has been a dynamic organization working to make life a bit better for others. Be a part of something great."
