Today’s afternoon sun reminded us that the countdown to spring is on, and we are exactly three months away from a big day along the beach – May 18th is the date set for the West Seattle 5K run/walk on Alki, organized by and benefiting the West Seattle High School PTSA, followed by SDOT‘s Seattle Summer Streets event (11 am-5 pm), once officially and still casually known as “car-free day.” You can sign up for the West Seattle 5K right now and get the lowest-priced registration – just go here. (As for the official start of spring, this year it’s March 20th.)
