Is there anyone feedback for summer fest can be directly sent too?

Can’t go to meeting, but really worried about the stage in the park/feet from my building being mismanaged again this year.

Having to deal with the shaking the loud bands caused again(and noise) is a stressful thought. :(

It’s a presentation of the Junction Association as always so there should be an e-mail address on http://wsjunction.org

I’ve tried to contact Megan (the CEO at Sub Pop) and Sub Pop, no responses.

I emailed the Alki Community Council, no response — but I think they’ll value an opinion either way.

I read that the meeting with Megan was going to be recorded last night (Thursday), I must have misunderstood.

  Yes, I recorded the Sub Pop meeting. It’s on our YouTube channel, in fact, I just haven’t written the story to embed here, yet, given a couple things that have come up, and it’ll probably be more like late afternoon/early evening.
  But that was no relation to the Summer Fest meeting about which the commenter was asking. Different meeting, different topic.
  Sub Pop discussion video from Alki last night:

  It was one of two major topics. I recorded the other one too (related to HALA upzoning and the citywide appeal) but haven’t finished processing the video.

    Way cool WSB!
