1 week to West Seattle Summer Fest 2014; first, the night before!

We’re counting down to West Seattle Summer Fest 2014 – presented by the WS Junction Association Friday-Sunday, July 11-13 – exactly one week away. This time, a quick infobit – the fun unofficially starts on what we like to call West Seattle Summer Fest Eve, when the streets close in the heart of The Junction on Thursday night, July 10th. The shutdown is technically for setup, but for years now, it’s also facilitated a whole lot of fun right in the heart of California SW – it’s the July West Seattle Art Walk (6-9 pm – previews next week), for one thing, and participants usually turn it up for this one. Then there’s the annual appearance of Bubbleman, out in the street in all his glory, courtesy of Elliott Bay Brewery. And somebody usually has live music in the street – usually more than one somebody. So plan to come down to The Junction not just for Summer Fest July 11-13 (co-sponsored by WSB), but also for Summer Fest Eve and Art Walk next Thursday.

Any idea if the construction at the Junction is going to affect the bus reroutes?

We’ll ask that question Monday since they’re not posted yet. All the same streets will be open and closed, so that part of rerouting wouldn’t be affected, but I’m not sure about the status of the sidewalk on the west side of 42nd south of SW Alaska, where there’s been a stop in past years.
