TRAFFIC ALERT: West Seattle Summer Fest street closures begin

As we’ve been reporting, West Seattle Summer Fest street closures are starting earlier than past years – and the first one is in place now: California SW is closed between SW Oregon and SW Genesee.

This block is where you’ll find the main stage on Friday and Saturday, the West Seattle Farmers’ Market on Sunday. Meantime, the other street closures – California between Oregon and Edmunds, and Alaska between 42nd and 44th – are scheduled to begin around 4 pm. (Oregon itself will remain open as an east-west corridor.)

We will see once again, just as we do every Sunday, that people enjoy it when street space is used for the enjoyment of human beings rather than the movement of vehicles. In fact, when people go on vacation, they often go to car-free spaces (theme parks, Europe, etc.) and enjoy them. What their car-brain minds won’t tell them is that they’re enjoying it because there are no cars. So, enjoy the car-free weekend! Think about doing this more often, on more streets!

Sorry, comment time is over.
