Looking for an event that combines architectural design AND garbage disposal? Then get yourself down to South Park for an open house, where you'll get a peek at the design for the exciting new Solid Waste Transfer Station! This nine-acre site is immediately northwest of the existing dump South Recycling and Disposal Station, and construction of the new facility is expected to start in November. Find out if the plans include a coffee bar or a glass museum. South Park Community Center, 8319 8th Avenue South, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Next up: Jobless and looking to learn a new language? You could join the Peace Corps! During tonight's free information session at the Ballard Library, a returned Peace Corps volunteer from El Salvador will give you the skinny on what it's really like, answer your questions, and guide you through the application process. Ballard Branch Library, 5614 22nd Avenue NW, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
