Through the warm(er) months, West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) has outdoors barbecue lunches many Saturdays, raising money for local nonprofits. Today, the season begins with a test run – so you’re invited to come have a free hot dog while they last. In our photo are Michele, Thriftway’s resident barbecue guru, and her new assistant Sam. The first official benefit barbecue is coming up in two weeks – Saturday, May 17th – with a celebrity guest chef expected, former Seahawk Mack Strong, and proceeds benefiting his TEAM-WORKS Foundation.
