WEST SEATTLE SUMMER FEST: Water refills are back. Here’s how to help make that permanent

| West Seattle festivals | West Seattle news | WS beverages

One week from today, we’ll be in the heart of the second day of West Seattle Summer Fest, the peninsula’s biggest party of the year, and it’ll likely be warm. This year, the festival’s zero-waste aspirations will bring back something that hasn’t been offered in years – free filtered water. The official festival map shows where:

You can support the water stations by buying a West Seattle-branded drinking container made by Seattle’s own MiiR, who’s providing the refill spots – two types of containers available; order yours now and pick it up at the festival! Summer Fest hours are 1-8 pm Friday, July 11, 10 am-8 pm Saturday, July 12, and 10 am-5 pm Sunday, July 13, with main-stage music until 11 pm Friday and Saturday. Preview the music, food/drink, vendor lineups, and more on the Summer Fest website.

Not sure if it’s just me but I can’t get the payment to go through on the water bottle site? Tried multiple browsers and cards with no luck :(

If you bring your own container, why is there a charge for water? Really?

There is not a charge for water this year for anyone. Past years did not have refill stations, so unless you brought your own, you had to buy a bottle of water from somebody, generally. This is about buying containers if you are interested, and the proceeds help underwrite the container-making company’s sponsorship of the water stations.

I will gladly buy a reusable water bottle from a local company to support removing a ridiculous amount of plastic out of the waste stream. If you can afford to do it, do it! Great move by the WSJA and MiiR!!!
