Yes, rain’s possible on this VERY busy West Seattle Thursday, but you’re local – you know not to let that get in the way of a good time.

SUMMER FEST EVE: The streets in The Junction close at 6 pm for West Seattle Summer Fest setup, rain or shine, and that means the Summer Fest Eve fun begins. It’s also West Seattle Art Walk night, usually on the second Thursday, but on the first one this month to coincide with Summer Fest Eve. Entertainment is planned at West 5 – the big band and jazz quartet from Jazz Night School – and at Elliott Bay Brewing (planning a band and kids’ entertainment, plus a benefit beer release). We’re checking on “what if it really does rain?” backup plans and will update, so check back here later. (UPDATE – The venues have tents on standby!)

Now, here’s the map/venue list for tonight’s Art Walk, 6-9 pm:

Among the participating businesses are four WSB sponsors:

*Click! Design That Fits (4540 California SW), featuring “Abstract Cityscapes” by Melanie Biehle

*CAPERS Home (4525 California SW), featuring florals by Genna Draper, ceramics by Beth Farrow, and harp music by White M.O.T.H.

*Wallflower Custom Framing (4735 42nd SW), with photography by Troy Sass

*Viscon Cellars (5910 California SW), paintings by Laura Beso and the winery’s new summer releases

Thanks, had a feeling we were missing something, will add that above…

Great photo – any way the photographer would let me use it for marketing purposes for Harley Marine Services (the grey and yellow building in the photograph is our world headquarters and our tugs are parked alongside). Thank you.

WSB July 7, 2016 (2:07 pm)

Aha! Now we know who the famous building belongs to. Anyway, please e-mail us editor@westseattleblog.com and I will forward to the photographer, who is a reader contributor – when photos are sent to us by readers, we only have rights to publish here, and can’t speak for them beyond that, so we always forward such requests – TR

  It’s a beautiful building. I am surprised wsb has never tried to walk in/ visit. It is sorta open to visitors, in a way, as there is a store (selling harley marine logo’d items), and there is a Really cool fish tank in the front (public? ) lobby.

surely you’ve gotten other questions… do you know what they were filming at/ outside of the uptown espresso on Delridge this afternoon?

WSB July 7, 2016 (5:14 pm)

Nope, sorry. Maybe that’s what the group of people along Andover just west of there – and a fancy tour-bus-type vehicle across from the gym – was up to. They were doing something with a road sign (we passed by on an errand) so we were wondering if it were SDOT … Text us when you see something, if you can! TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
