On this chilly spring day (38 degrees as we type), let’s talk summer! Less than four months to go until West Seattle Summer Fest 2018. And now’s the time for nonprofits and community groups to make their move to be part of it. Three ways, according to the West Seattle Junction Association, which presents Summer Fest – apply ASAP:

*Community tabling FREE! Deadline May 19th. (Apply here)

*Green Life, for nonprofits who are focused on sustainability and conservation, in the Green Life area (Junction Plaza Park & Alaska). $75 for all three days. Deadline May 19th. (Apply here)

*Summer Fest main festival, for nonprofits who wish to be in the main vendor row – $350 for all three days. Deadline extended through March 28th. (Apply here)

This year’s Summer Fest dates are July 13, 14, and 15.

    Not only chilly—now snowing! Looking forward to summer.

      Just posted a separate short story. Fairly feisty flakes up here.

    A few weeks ago you reported the Junction Association was seeing a huge increase in property taxes for the parking lots they lease, and they may have to cancel events such as Summerfest. I guess they figured something out? Was there ever a followup story to the original that I missed?

      The situation has not yet been resolved.

        If it comes down to them having to make a choice, I really hope they keep the Summerfest and other events, rather than keeping the parking lots.

    Greed makes it all good! No matter on who’s part.

    Really???— keep summerfest- which I love by the way- but only lasts a few days – do away with parking that allows more folks to shop at & support local businesses year round????

    (“and other events” , eg, Harvest Festival,  trolleys, and night time market/ tree lighting during the holidays….)

    and yes, really. those do more to build community than parking lots do.

Sorry, comment time is over.
