West Seattle Summer Fest 2019 (July 12-14) is less than five months away, and that time goes fast, so the West Seattle Junction Association has just opened applications for:

Vendors
Food Vendors
Vintage Alley
Pet Junction
Community Booth
Sponsorships!!
Volunteers
Musician and performers
Buskers

Links you can use to apply can be found on this page of the Summer Fest website.

WSJA executive director Lora Radford explains a few changes: “New this year, we’re emphasizing and encouraging local artists and craft makers to apply. We’ll have a new area of the festival, Vintage Alley – we’re prioritizing people who deal in vintage or collectables to apply. We’re also working together with the Junction merchants to make the Famous West Seattle Sidewalk Sale a big deal.”

Plus – “Also new this year, based on community feedback, a change-up in the kids’ area. More fun for the younger and elementary crowd plus we’ll have skills games for the older middle-school kids. Also, you can buy kids-ride tickets in advance this year through Brown Paper Tickets.” Find out more about the kids-area plan here.

And last but by no means least – something long requested – extended hours! Vendors will sell until 8 pm on Friday and Saturday of Summer Fest, and will open at 10 am on Sunday. So if you’re interested in being part of it, start here!

Gotta enjoy summerfest before it becomes shadowfest under a giant concrete lightrail structure that blocks all light and destroys the ability to have these events in West Seattle. Unlike capitol hill and other neighborhoods that got tunnels and grand opening ceremonies above ground complete with painted crosswalks and neighborhood character preservation.

I’m not in favor of elevated transportation in WS and SummerFest is one more thing that will be forever affected IF a rail structure and station monstrosity are built in the Alaska Junction.

Sorry, comment time is over.
