Two big street-closing summer events are only a week away – so it’s time for us to remind you that the West Seattle Grand Parade and Float Dodger 5K are happening next Saturday (July 19th)! California SW will close that morning from Admiral Way to Edmunds, so heed the no-parking signs when they appear this week – on parade day, vehicles get towed. The Float Dodger is presented by West Seattle Runner (2743 California SW) as a fundraiser for the West Seattle Food Bank, and includes a kids’ dash as well as the main 5K, which goes from Hiawatha on down the parade route on California, pre-parade. The parade itself, presented by the West Seattle Rotary Foundation, starts from California/Lander at 11 and rolls/strolls/etc. southbound, so you can pick a spot just about anywhere to watch; you’re also invited to a special Parade-Watching Party at West Seattle Realty (2715 California SW; WSB sponsor), near the beginning of the parade route, with seating and treats. Parade-watching is free, but if you want to run/walk in the 5K, you’ll need to register – do that here.
Another West Seattle Summer Fest tradition is happening again this year – the mini-STP bike ride with West Seattle Bike Connections is tomorrow! If you haven’t already seen it in the Event Calendar, here’s the announcement with a WSBC-provided photo:
West Seattle Little STP Bike Ride
Sunday, July 13, 2025 – 9:15 am to 1:00 pm
Meet at Hamilton Viewpoint Park
1318 Palm Ave SWHave you ever wanted to do the Seattle-to-Portland bike ride? And forgot to sign up? Or train for it? Here is your big chance! Do it in 2 hours and end up at a huge finish line party! Same weekend as Cascade’s big STP, so you can brag and post pix like the other one-day riders.
Join West Seattle Bike Connections for a ride starting at Hamilton Viewpoint Park in West Seattle on a 10.2-mile route at a leisurely 10-12 mph pace! Register at the start. We invite and welcome everyone including people of all ages, languages, ethnicities, genders, races, and abilities. Riders under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We will be riding from SW Seattle Street to SW Portland Street, and back north to Summer Fest at the West Seattle Junction, for a fabulous finish line party. After some time at the festival, participants can ride home independently, or ride with a leader back to Hamilton Viewpoint.
Our goal will be to stay together as a group. Be prepared for a moderately hilly route. There are a couple of hills that some may wish to walk up. That’s fine! We will regroup at the top of hills.
If you have questions, contact ride leader Nick at westseattlebikeconnections@gmail.com.
Restrooms are not available at the start. Closest public restrooms are at Seacrest Marina Park (the water taxi dock) on Harbor Ave. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 2.7 at the Alaska Junction.
Check brakes and tires before leaving home. Arrive in time for 9:15 ride description and safety briefing. Must be present at the safety briefing to participate. Helmets required. No ear buds. Steady rain cancels. We will ride if there are just light showers.
Love scavenger hunts? Summer Scramble is back, and coordinator/founder Alice Kuder wants you to be able to plan ahead! Here’s her announcement:
The 3rd annual Summer Scramble Treasure Hunt is coming to West Seattle, running from Thursday, July 31st through Sunday, August 3rd. It’s FREE, FUN, and FAMILY FRIENDLY!
Discover hidden treasure in West Seattle with friends, family, or all by yourself. Whether you are a newcomer or long-time resident, Summer Scramble is a free community treasure hunt designed to introduce you to parts of West Seattle you may not have experienced before. Even better, by playing, you will discover some awesome local businesses and “communication hubs”, AND compete to win the booty from one of three treasure chests.
How do you play? It’s so easy! Go to wondersinaliceland.com. Register your team, then download the instructions today. Then, on July 31st, download the bingo-style clue sheet and map and hit the streets to solve as many of the 25 clues as you can. When you solve a clue, go to that location and take a selfie in front of it. Send your selfies to me at a url to be announced. Participating businesses will display a Summer Scramble sign in the front window that includes the phrase, “You’re clued in!”
Each team that solves at least 15 clues will qualify for the treasure chest drawings. That’s all there is to it!
The hunt is open to everyone of all ages. It begins at 12:01 AM on Thursday, July 31st, and ends at 7 PM on Sunday, August 3rd. Registration is open now, but you can register and send selfies anytime during those four days.
Summer Scramble is orchestrated by Alice Kuder, Preparedness Coach at Just in Case, because she loves scavenger hunts, small businesses, West Seattle, and creating opportunities for free fun!

81 teams participated last year.
That’s the Trujillo family in their Rivian R1S electric vehicle. You probably know Laurel and Andrew as proprietors of Ounces in North Delridge. They’re hosting a Rivian owners meetup next Saturday (July 12) and it’s not just your average meetup – Laurel explains, “For this meetup, we’re trying to break the world record of most Rivians in a caravan and we want to make sure all the Rivian Owners of West Seattle get the invite to come down on July 12th and take part in this super cool, fun and hopefully momentous event! The record to beat is 70 Rivians and it will take all of our fellow West Seattle Rivian Community (and beyond) to do it!” They’ve been Rivian owners for more than a year and say it’s a “fun and unique community to be a part of, which is why we thought it would be a cool idea to gather and meet other local Rivian Owners in West Seattle –– and to uplevel the gathering even more, might as well try to break the record!” They’ll start from Ounces at noon next Saturday in the back parking lot, then, “We’ll take a Caravan Cruise around Alki, then return to Ounces for a social meetup with Rivian swag giveaways! All Rivian R1 Models welcome! Just arrive by 12 pm to join.” More event details here. (If you haven’t been to Ounces, it’s at 3809 Delridge Way SW.)
Love to walk? You’re invited to be part of a new event, The West Seattle Saunter, on Saturday, July 12. Organizer Holden coordinated The Seattle Super Saunter last month and tells WSB, “We got about 200-300 people to walk the whole city in the pouring rain for our first event and I felt bad we did not get to include West Seattle on the day.” So this one is devoted to the peninsula: “The West Seattle Saunter is about a 12-mile walk which will begin at the West Seattle Water Taxi pier and then go along Alki, head to Lincoln Park, go up to Myrtle Reservoir Park, and then finish at Alaska Junction for Summer Fest,” which will be on Day 2 by then. This is a free community-building event, and you can register by going here and/or here.

The biggest scheduled event in West Seattle on the Fourth of July will again be the Kids’ Parade through North Admiral, and it’s only 10 days away, so we’re publishing another reminder! Kids of all ages and their families can be part of the parade just by showing up – the gathering point is 44th/Sunset [map], starting time is 10 am. The Admiral Neighborhood Association now presents this community-created tradition, which proceeds on feet and wheels (bikes, scooters, wagons, strollers) along a few blocks of North Admiral, then crosses California SW and ends at Hamilton Viewpoint Park for games, food and treat trucks, and sack races. It all usually wraps up about noon, so you have tons of time to move on to whatever else you’re doing on the holiday. The parade is powered by donations, volunteers, and sponsors (we’re the media sponsor), so if you would rather help than watch or participate, scroll down to the end of this page for the volunteering contact, and/or donate to ANA here!
Rain stopped, sun’s peeking through. The Super Deli Mart parking lot at 35th/Barton has games, kids’ activities – giant-bubble-making!
And benefit beverages (beer, lemonade) …
All to help the Fauntleroy Fall Festival stay free! This continues until 6 pm.
The Fourth of July is three weeks away. So we’re taking a moment for a quick reminder that the Admiral Neighborhood Association will again present a long-running holiday tradition, open to both participants and spectators!
The West Seattle Fourth of July Kids’ Parade will start from 44th/Sunset [map] at 10 am on Friday, July 4. Aside from the fire engine and famous blue pickup that lead the parade, it’s a non-motorized, show-up-and-participate extravaganza – winding across a few blocks in North Admiral before ending at Hamilton Viewpoint Park for a mini-family fun fair, including sack races, other kids’ activities, food/treat trucks, and usually a chance for a closer look at the aforementioned fire engine. It all wraps up around noon so you can move on to whatever you have planned for the rest of the day. (WSB is the parade’s media sponsor; if this is your first year and you wonder what it’s like, here’s our coverage – including video – of last year’s parade.)
Plenty of reasons to cheer at this year’s Loop the ‘Lupe today at Walt Hundley Playfield! Organizer Brian Callanan verified it’s the biggest one ever – 770 people registered before and at the four-event fun(draiser). The signature event is the obstacle-course 5K, only one of its kind in the Seattle area – photographer Oliver Hamlin captured the spirit for WSB:
The obstacle course started with “elite” entrants taking off in waves so there wasn’t too much of a traffic jam.
(WSB photos and videos from here down, by Tracy Record)
Three-quarters of an hour later,the “family waves” headed out:
If you didn’t want to climb, jump, or get muddy, a 5K fun run was the perfect option:
And if you wanted a simple walk, the “Senior Saunter” was perfect:
The last of the events was a Kids’ Dash. Even if you weren’t running, walking, dashing, jumping, etc., Loop the ‘Lupe offered both a party atmosphere and a chance to learn about the local businesses and organizations who were community co-sponsors, including some WSB sponsors – here are Kemberly and Alison from Lake Washington Physical Therapy West Seattle:
And Charlie and Hsi Yen from Fitness Together West Seattle in The Junction:
(WSB was media sponsor again this year.)The West Seattle School of Rock provided a lively soundtrack, and the Knights of Columbus grilled up lunch. Loop the ‘Lupe proceeds support Our Lady of Guadalupe‘s community and social work.

Seattle’s only obstacle-course 5K happens right here in West Seattle, and it’s one of four events comprising tomorrow’s Loop the ‘Lupe (along with the 5K Fun Run, Senior Saunter, and Youth Dash). If you’re already registered, you can pick up your packet 1-6 pm today at West Seattle Runner (2743 California SW). If not, you can sign up online right now! The Obstacle Course 5K starts at 11; the Fun Run 5K at noon; the Senior Saunter at 12:15 pm; and the Youth Dash at 1 pm, all at Walt Hundley Playfield (34th/Myrtle), just east of Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose community and social programs benefit from the proceeds. While you’re signing up, if you’re at least 16 years old, you have a new add-on option this year – the first-ever Penalty Kick Soccer Shootout with West Seattle Junction FC and Rhodies FC players.
Walt Hundley will be a fun place to be on Saturday even if you’re not Loop-ing – you can do some volunteer work (sign up here) or just be a spectator! There’s music, food, and beverages too. Plus health care – as previewed here, the Care-a-Van will be on site, offering vaccines and screenings. WSB is media sponsor for Loop the ‘Lupe, and we’ll see you there!

This year’s Loop the ‘Lupe is four days away! It’s the Seattle area’s only 5K obstacle course – one of four events that comprise Loop the ‘Lupe – and it’s raising money for community and social work done by Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, which is headquartered steps away from Walt Hundley Playfield, where you can Loop the ‘Lupe this Saturday (June 7). We checked in with Loop the ‘Lupe leader Brian Callanan about last-minute reminders. For one, he reminds you that you can sign up all the way until race day, so there’s room for procrastinators too. And whatever you’re signing up for if you’re 16 or older – the obstacle 5K, the fun run 5K, the Senior Saunter – here’s an extra option, Brian reminds us:
We still have 15 slots open for our inaugural Penalty Kick Soccer Shoot-Out with West Seattle Junction FC and the Rhodies. This is for registrants age 16+. For only $25, you’ll get to compete with other Loop athletes to see if you can score on some of West Seattle’s top goalkeepers! All entrants will receive 2 tickets to a Fan Appreciation Day for one of the teams later this summer (6/28 for Rhodies, 7/8 for WSFC). Our champion (we’ll do a playoff between our contestants to see who makes/who misses) will receive a pair of tickets for BOTH Fan Appreciation Days, plus a scarf and t-shirt.
Look for that as an option when you’re registering. And last but not least:
If people are looking for some volunteer hours, we have slots available, and especially could use help on obstacle teardown and general cleanup: runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/WA/Seattle/LoopTheLupe
Lots of other reasons to Loop the ‘Lupe too – it’s a party, a health fair, more.
We’ve been telling you about West Seattle’s many championship-level athletes. Among the sports from which they hail: Jump rope! Here’s an invitation that West Seattle-based Rain City RopeWorks asked us to share with you:
Rain City RopeWorks Community Show

We are incredibly excited to be expanding our service area this summer and serving more youth in West Seattle!
Westcrest Park is a crown jewel and boasts a gorgeous green space with picnic tables, a playground, & viewing platform overlooking the skyline.
West Seattle native and Camp Fire team member Mulch Morwell will be at the helm! “I’m so excited to be directing Westcrest Park Day Camp this year! I grew up in West Seattle going to that park and it’s a beautiful location with plenty of access to hiking trails. It’s a great spot to connect kids with nature, give teenagers meaningful leadership experiences, and lead some fun and educational camp projects that kids love. Camp Fire really stands out from the other youth organizations when it comes to giving kids the chance to grow at their own pace and figure out what they’re passionate about.”
Connecting Kids to the Outdoors
Also on tap for this summer at Westcrest Day Camp: Scavenger hunts, tie-dye, STEM projects, camp songs, and so much more! Special guests will also be featured inluding Dana Aoyama (Camp Name: Meeko) and her snake friends!

For more info, and registration, go here.
The West Seattle 5K on Alki is just hours away – 9:30 am Sunday. Here’s what else you should know:
MUSIC & CHEERING: Just received this update from the organizers at the West Seattle HS PTSA late tonight:
New this year, we have formed a WS5K Pep Band to cheer on the runners and entertain the crowd! The all volunteer WS5K Pep Band is under the direction of Clark Bathum (Madison Middle School band director), and made up of WSHS band alumni, Madison music students, and even a Madison teacher (Mr. Ashish Meloottu, English). The talented Mr. Bathum will both direct and play (tuba) as part of the WS5K Pep Band!
The band is scheduled to play a set of crowd favorites during the pre-race festivities from 9:05-9:10, plus the WSHS fight song at 9:30 to kick off the start of the race.
Plus, there will also be 30 members of the award-winning WSHS Cheer team present to cheer on all 1600 (and counting) runners/walkers.
Come out to the 5K early to enjoy the musical talents of our Pep Band!
The start/finish line is around 61st/Alki
.
LAST-MINUTE REGISTRATION: It’s all online so if you’re not signed up yet, do it here before you even leave the house. We’re told 1,600+ are signed up so far!
STREET CLOSURES: The route is to Anchor/Luna Park on Duwamish Head and back; Alki and Harbor Avenues will be closed to through traffic starting around 8 am, and connecting side streets are for local traffic only. Here’s the Metro Route 50 reroute (so far the advisories don’t include the Water Taxi shuttles, though).

Just under one month until West Seattle hosts the city’s only obstacle-course 5K (you can run/walk it without obstacles, too), Loop the ‘Lupe! It’s four events in one at Walt Hundley Playfield on Saturday, June 7, benefiting the community/social work of nearby Our Lady of Guadalupe. You can enter the obstacle-course 5K, the fun run, the Youth Dash, or the Senior Saunter. Organizer Brian Callanan says one incentive for signing up now is that they’re about a week away from putting in their T-shirt order, and you’re guaranteed to get the size you want if you’re registered by then. A second reason to sign up ASAP if you haven’t already – there are still spots in the bonus Penalty-Kick Shootout for entrants 18+: everyone who enters the shootout ($25, while tickets last) gets free tickets to a West Seattle Junction FC or Rhodies FC match (players will be there for a 1:30 pm exposition match before the 2 pm shootout). The shootout winner gets “a special West Seattle soccer prize pack!” Here’s where to register.
(WSB file photo from one of the first WC5Ks)
One of this weekend’s biggest events will be the White Center 5K, starting from Steve Cox Memorial Park (1321 SW 102nd) at 9 tomorrow morning. That’s where runners and walkers will finish, too. It’s a benefit for three local nonprofits – White Center Food Bank, YES Foundation of White Center, and the White Center Community Development Association – and this is the first time the White Center 5K has been presented since the pre-pandemic 2019 5K. Costumes are encouraged, particularly superheroes. No road closures are expected; here’s the course:
Not registered yet? Here’s how!

Are you looped in yet? We’re a little more than a month away from this year’s Loop the ‘Lupe at Walt Hundley Playfield, but we’re just days away from the current registration deal expiring! Here’s an update with some other news from organizer Brian Callanan:
Loop the ‘Lupe — the ONLY obstacle-course race in Seattle city limits–is coming up on June 7, and time is running out for you to get your best deal! We have options for participants age 3 to 93, and we’re asking everyone to get signed up before May 1 (this Thursday) to save $10 on your registration fees (compared to race-day prices). Team discounts with 4+ entrants!
Plus, new this year, we’re teaming up with West Seattle Junction FC and Rhodies FC (our local pre-professional soccer teams) to present a free exposition match at 1:30 p.m., after our final event of the day. Then, at 2:00 p.m., we’re featuring a Penalty Kick Shootout event for Loop the ‘Lupe entrants age 16+! Only 20 tickets, at a price of $25, are available to entrants age 16+. All entrants in the shootout will receive free tickets to a West Seattle Junction FC/Rhodies match, and our shootout winner will receive a special West Seattle soccer prize pack!
Junction FC and the Rhodies start their seasons even before Loop the ‘Lupe – they take the field in mid-May. Loop the ‘Lupe, meantime – with community co-sponsors also including WSB – raises money for the intensive community social work done by Our Lady of Guadalupe. And even if you don’t want to try the obstacle course, you’ve got options – including a Fun Run, Youth Dash, and Senior Saunter – go here. (Fast!)

There’s still one more day to stop in at the West Seattle Rock Club’s Rock and Gem Show, which is open again Sunday from 10 am-5 pm at the Alki Masonic Center, 4736 40th Ave SW, free to the public and with some tantalizing door prizes. But the true gems of the show may just be hiding in plain sight.
The Rock Club is celebrating its 60th year with 100 members, 30 of whom are juniors. Members get to show off their finds, their work and their knowledge via displays at the annual show. This year’s show also has 5 stone craftspeople demonstrating their skills and the machinery required to make things like beads, creating facets, and shaping cabochons. There are also a few sellers with rocks and gems in a finished form.
Show visitors have the chance to bid on rocks and minerals in a silent auction; there’s a “people’s choice” award for the best displays, and a chance at a prize just for walking in the door. It’s the group’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and it’s the 57th show.
That is also coincidentally the number of years that Audrey and Lyle Vogelpohl have been members of the club, joining in 1968. They have humbly stewarded the organization practically ever since, adding a Juniors group to the roster along the way. Often, those younger members will get the rockhounding bug after going on one of the club’s field trips and then start going to monthly meetings to learn more.
The Vogelpohls have consistently made the West Seattle Rock Club a priority through most of their married life, while providing an educational opportunity for the entire community. They’re also involved with statewide and national organizations devoted to mineralogy. As the club website says, it is, “dedicated to the advancement of the lapidary arts and to enjoying the great outdoors.”
Audrey says they’ve both relished the work they’ve done with the club, particularly in the 27 years they’ve been retired. “You can’t just sit in a rocker,” she said. Lyle’s specialty is shaping cabochons, and Audrey was wearing a necklace today that she made out of one by adding beading to it. It’s work that takes patience and dedication, something the Vogelpohls have in spades.
Admission to the show is free, and so is parking in the Masonic Center’s lot for showgoers.
Anne, with jam, is one of the ~20 sellers you’ll find at the West Seattle Eagles‘ garden/craft sale, if you haven’t been already – it’s on at the Eagles’ HQ in The Junction until 3 pm, and you can get fresh-grilled lunch until 2, with proceeds going to cancer research!
The Eagles are at 4426 California SW. P.S. Anne – who sent the pics – was bringing eight cases of jam, including raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, peach, and orange marmalade!
