WEST SEATTLE ART WALK, WITH MUSIC: Second Thursdays bring the West Seattle Art Walk. Participating venues (see the list above) include both places you’ll find art – often with the artist there to answer quedtion – and places you’ll find food/beverage specials if you mention to the venue that you’re out for the Art Walk. And tonight, there’s music too:

Kevin Freitas, who sent the photo, says, “We’ll be playing out in front of the KeyBank starting around 5:45 pm, playing for about 20 minutes then and again about 6:30. We’re also still looking for a few more percussionists if anyone interested wants to email BetterAsBrass@gmail.com”
