(ADDED SUNDAY MORNING: Highlights of participants’ specific donation opportunities, as we find them!)

Sunday’s the day – eat, drink, shop, rock out around West Seattle (and a bit beyond!) as part of a community-wide benefit for Japan earthquake/tsunami relief. Just eight days after West 5 proprietor Dave Montoure announced the plan, 27 local businesses are on board – and hours from now, it’s up to you. The list of participants resides on the official West Seattle for Japan Facebook page – follow the “info” link and be sure to click “see more” on that page. The 27 that are signed up so far are in our Google map (and we’ll add any more that are announced). Each business is doing something different – there’s food, drink, music, shopping, origami-crane-making. The two nonprofits to receive what’s raised by West Seattle for Japan are Peace Winds Japan and KnK Japan.
