West Seattle, Washington
30 Wednesday
A brand-new West Seattle scavenger hunt has begun – and you’re invited to join as soon as you see this! It’s all about music, as the announcement explains:
The Westside Music Social Club (WMSC), an all-volunteer community organization, has launched its first-ever West Seattle Music Scavenger HuntF, a self-guided, neighborhood-wide adventure running (now) through Monday, October 5, 2026. The hunt wraps up with a 21+ community afterparty and prize drawing on Wednesday, October 7, at Revelry Room.
The hunt is WMSC’s way of kicking off fall by putting neighbors directly in front of the small businesses that give West Seattle its music scene, sending players through record shops, music schools, venues, and neighborhood landmarks, guided by custom music-themed riddles and hidden QR code checkpoints. The hunt is open to everyone and all-ages as venues allow, with no musical experience needed; only the afterparty is 21+.
How It Works:
Sign up and get the first clue: After signing up on Heylo, players receive Clue #1 by direct message.
Hunt the trail: Players solve custom music riddles to find QR code checkpoints across the neighborhood. Each scan logs their progress and shares a bit of local music trivia.
Perks along the way: A participating music stop is offering a special discount to hunters.
Grand Prize Raffle: Players who complete every stop are entered to win. Three winners, each taking home a swag bag and a gift card, will be drawn at the afterparty, which will also feature live surprises.“Our goal is simple: bring neighbors together, amplify local businesses, and get everyone listening to more music,” said Adriana Castro, President of the Westside Music Social Club. “We’re a volunteer-run, community-first organization, and everything we do is a safe space for anyone who wants to make or share music, from watchers to shredders. Whether you’re a lifelong musician or just love going to local live shows, this hunt is a fun way to support our favorite neighborhood spots.”
Event Details:
When: Hunt runs September 22 – October 5, 2026. Afterparty is Wednesday, October 7, 2026 (21+).
Where: Music spots and landmarks across West Seattle. Afterparty at Revelry Room.
Cost: $10 per player
Who can play: Anyone! Accessible and all-ages as venues allow. The afterparty is 21+.
Sign up: Register on Heylo.
About Westside Music Social Club:
The Westside Music Social Club is a nonprofit, all-volunteer music collective that brings together amateur musicians and music lovers in West Seattle. Since its first event in January 2026, the club has hosted regular “Green Room” jams and community sets, creating inclusive, accessible opportunities for neighbors of every skill level, from watchers to shredders, to play, listen to, and celebrate music together.
Another two-day event to consider for your weekend plans – the Fauntleroy Church Second-Time Sale! Here’s the preview sent to us to share with you:
Another huge Second-Time Sale at Fauntleroy Church (9140 California Ave. SW) will open at 9:00 am tomorrow (9/19) with just about anything you might need or simply fall in love with, at a bargain price.
(Above, the ‘stuffie menagerie’ is part of the toy section)
Since 1992, the congregation has welcomed donations throughout the year to make this much more than a rummage sale. Items have been curated, cleaned, tested, and organized for easy browsing. The sale will have housewares, jewelry, furniture, craft supplies, sports gear, tools, and more, including a bake sale with treats to take home or nibble while shopping.
Hours are 9 am-4 pm Saturday and 11:30 am-3:00 pm Sunday. The church has off-street parking and elevator access to all sale level.
Photos were taken by Ana Del Claro as volunteers were finishing setting up earlier today.
West Seattle’s next festival is Friday and Saturday (September 18-19) – Holy Rosary School‘s WestFest! Entertainment, games, rides, food … and today, we have the stage lineup:
Festival hours are 6-10 pm Friday, 10 am-10 pm Saturday; the campus is along 42nd SW between SW Genesee and SW Dakota.
The second-ever West Seattle Junction Sweet Stroll continues until 8 pm, and you can still get a ticket – just go to the check-in table in front of KeyBank at California/Alaska:
Above is one of the four treats your ticket is good for, a Molly Moon’s Ice Cream mini-flight – below, you also get your choice of Husky Deli mini-scoop:
Two berry-pie choices from A La Mode Pies:
And pumpkin-spice beverage plus donut from Top Pot:
You get all those for $25,

Though its HQ isn’t rebuilt yet, Highland Park Improvement Club hasn’t let that stop them from hosting community gatherings at the site – including First Fridays parties all summer.
(Above, first band of the night, Jed Zeppelin)
(Above, second band of the night, Disco Cowboys)
Tonight until 8:30 pm, you’re invited to the last one of 2026 – with two bands, a food truck, activities for all ages, and a resource table where you can bring something to leave to help a neighbor get through “The Big Dark” ahead – including a cookie and produce exchange.
Free admission (bring money for food and/or beverages if you want), all happening at the HPIC site, 12th/Holden.
More photos (and some video) to come!
And if you can be here by 7, they’re taking a season-ending group photo!
ADDED: After the group photo, it was back to the party. Tonight’s food truck was Chick’n Fix:
But the treats people brought for each other looked pretty tempting too:
Knowledge was shared as well – a lesson in fermenting:
More items to share, from puzzles to herbs:
And neighborhood spirit:

One more note about the weekend before it’s too far back in the rear-view mirror – organizers of the free KindieWest family-music (and more) festival on Sunday at Fauntleroy Schoolhouse have a message of gratitude. They told us they’re hoping it’ll become a tradition!
What an incredible day! At our peak time midday, nearly 300 people were present, and throughout the event, KindieWest reached more than 500 community members—all through the power of music.
As a nonprofit navigating a challenging economic climate, we’re deeply grateful to every local organization, artist, volunteer, partner, and individual who came together to make KindieWest possible. We hope you felt the genuine connection and community spirit that made the festival so special.
This was our first time organizing an event like this. Our core team took this on as a volunteer project putting this together with full-time jobs, many with kids, all of us with life chaos, so it truly took some nights, patience, and a shared belief in bringing people together.
We hope to make KindieWest an annual tradition and explore more partnership opportunities throughout the year through FCSA programming at the historic Fauntleroy Schoolhouse. Attendees kept letting us know how much they loved the flow of the event, each element, the conversations they had, the safe and warm environment for children, and all the special activities you all helped bring together.
And just for fun – our aftercare program runs the Moonbeam Store – those kids worked hard and made nearly $500 toward their summer program field trips!!
Thank you for believing in this event and our community. If you have feedback or ideas, we’d love to hear!
Tomorrow’s the day! 10 am Sunday, the place for families to be is the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse (9131 California SW). We got more details today about tomorrow’s free-admission KindieWest concert – and more:
We are so excited and the lineup has gotten even bigger! Head over to KindieWest Music Fest at Fauntleroy Schoolhouse (behind the building in the back parking lot) tomorrow for our free family-friendly community concert.
What’s happening on August 23rd 10 am-1 pm

West Seattle Community Orchestras Instrument Petting Zoo
Sunshine Music Together LLC interactive program

As this weekend comes to a close, we’re looking ahead to a couple of big events next weekend. One is the return of KindieWest live family/kid-geared music at Fauntleroy Schoolhouse, this time as one big free concert next Sunday (August 23) – here’s the poster with the lineup!
Three featured indie acts plus a singalong, 10 am to 1 pm Sunday, along with “an instrument petting zoo and local food-truck favorites.” Though it’s free and no ticket/RSVP is required, organizers with Fauntleroy Community Service Agency and Fauntleroy Children’s Center note, “we will be accepting donations to (the center) as part of our tuition scholarship fund for families in need.” The historic schoolhouse is at 9131 California SW.
This is the fourth year that the nonprofit 1World1Sky is giving away hundreds of backpacks filled with school supplies to local kids who need them – and it’s happening during a free celebration. This year, it’s in South Park – here’s the announcement we were asked to share with you:
1World1Sky is excited to host its 4th annual “Backpack for Kids: Summer Bash” on Friday, August 14, from 3:00–6:00 PM at South Park Community Center.

The Back-to-School celebration will feature a giveaway of more than 400 backpacks filled with essential school supplies, including supplies for middle and high school students. Families can also enjoy an afternoon of BBQ provided by the Seattle Police Department, games, inflatables, a live DJ, a snow-cone truck, and more!
The event is made possible through the generous support of the Seattle Police Department (SPD), GHB Windows, Operation Engage, and other valued community partners and donors.
Students and families from kindergarten through high school are invited to join us as we celebrate the end of summer and kick off a new school year with fun, community, and support!
The South Park Community Center is at 8319 8th Ave. S.

Highland Park Improvement Club‘s First Fridays are truly all-ages parties, and the one under way right now at HPIC’s past-and-future HQ (northeast corner of 12th/Holden) is yet another example – this time, grownups are encouraged to get playful too:
As always, there’s live music – this time, Birch Pereira and The Gin Joints:
And while admission is free, you can buy beverages and/or food:
The Levantine Cuisine food truck is there tonight. And lots more fun to be had:
Well-behaved dogs welcome too.
This all continues until 8:30 pm.

One of the newer West Seattle traditions that livens up late summer is about to begin! Tomorrow is the first day of the 2026 West Seattle Glass Float Hunt, with 100 glass floats like the one seen above hidden around the peninsula, indoors and outdoors, over the course of a week (August 7-14). It’s a collaboration between the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce and West Seattle Junction Association, with businesses sponsoring and participating, as well as city matching-funds support. As explained on the official website, if/when you find a float, it’s yours to keep – the only request is that you use its unique QR code to report you found it, so that can be noted on what will be an ongoing online list. And the official announcement notes a change:
This year, daily clues are taking a back seat. Clues will only be released if a float hasn’t been found, giving participants a chance to explore West Seattle, stop into and discover local businesses, as well as experience the neighborhoods that make this community so unique.
“The Glass Float Hunt has never just been about finding a glass float,” said Rachel Porter, Executive Director of the West Seattle Chamber. “It’s about supporting the small businesses that make West Seattle so distinct. We hope people will grab a coffee, browse a shop they’ve never walked into, stay to eat, and spend time supporting the businesses that invest in this community every day.”

6:48 PM: Driftwood Drive is playing classic hits of the past few decades as they open the final concert of the Admiral Neighborhood Association‘s Admiral Music in the Parks series.
Again this year, ANA rotated the shows – which were all at Hiawatha pre-pandemic/pre-renovations – between three lesser-used Admiral parks, and tonight it’s Hamilton Viewpoint (1120 California SW), with Elliott Bay and the downtown skyline as the backdrop behind the band.
Lots of room to dance, and as usual, lots of little kids are doing that, but grownups are welcome to dance too. Walk or roll here and you’ll find special attended free parking for your wheels (strollers too). Bring your yarn and needles for the knitting circle, or come borrow from the board-game library. And bring your own chair/mat/blanket. The show’s on until about 8 pm. It’s free thanks to donations (if you want to chip in, go here), volunteers (including the ANA board members who do the coordinating – Meagan Loftin and Dan Jacobs) – and community co-sponsors (including WSB).
8:03 PM: The concert is wrapping up; Driftwood Drive is playing an encore song right now. ANA says they counted 800 people here for the concert. They actually have one more live-music event this summer – the Admiral Block Party on August 22, with music the night before too – see the lineups here.
7:21 PM: We’re in the second hour of Band Jam, hosted by the Seattle Schools All-City Marching Band at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex.
After a drumline, color guard, brass band, and more, we’re currently seeing the first marching band of the night, from Kennedy Catholic High School in nearby Burien. This is free and fun, and currently going exactly to the schedule/lineup we obtained from ACB director Dr. Marcus Pimpleton (who played trombone with the Soul Jambalaya Brass Band a little while ago).
So c’mon down to 2801 SW Thistle. Food trucks!
9:09 PM: Just ended. On our way back to HQ to add video.
10:24 PM: Arguably the highlight of the night was the first part of the All-City Band’s performance, which also featured the alumni band set up for this 75th-anniversary season – they’re in the foreground, yellow shirts:
The alums then left and the ACB performed for 15 more minutes, counting more shouted declarations at the very end, beyond the repeated “Who are we? All-City Band” – this included “What do we do? Entertain!” That, they do:
They were preceded by the official Sounders FC band Sound Wave. We just recorded two slices of their set, but as a whole it was intensely local, from Nirvana’s “Come” to the ’60s TV song “The Bluest Skies I’ve Ever Seen are in Seattle” and beyond.
They followed another pro-sports-team-affiliated group, the Seahawks’ Blue Thunder drumline, who at several points in their set led everyone in a round of “Sea! Hawks! Sea! Hawks!”
Up from Pierce County, the Sumner HS Marching Band is a frequent Band Jam participant:
The only band to march – well, more like stride – onto the field chanting PAR-TY, PAR-TY, was Neon Brass Party:
Both that band and the Kennedy Catholic HS Marching Band (mentioned above) had lots of pop songs in their sets.
As also mentioned above, the Soul Jambalaya Brass Band played, with musicians including ACB leader Dr. Marcus Pimpleton.
The first drumline of the night was Seismic Sound:
And it all began with the Rainbow City Color Guard – in our clip, you’ll see them perform to “How It’s Done” from the hit animated movie “K-Pop Demon Hunters”:
Some of those who performed tonight will be in Saturday night’s Seafair Torchlight Parade along the downtown waterfront. Band Jam started at NCSWAC in 2009; it eventually moved to Memorial Stadium, but the rebuild started last summer so Band Jam came back here. The rebuilt Memorial Stadium isn’t expected to open until fall of next year, so we might see Band Jam in West Seattle next year too.

6:41 PM: Big sound in a little park – that’s what’s happening now in the second free show in the three-concert Admiral Music in the Parks series. Michael Pearsall is performing tonight – to be joined by friends later in the evening – at California Place Park, the bigger-than-it-looks bus-stop park next to the former Admiral Church at California/Hill.
Grab your chair and come on down – this will continue until about 8 pm, brought to you by the Admiral Neighborhood Association.
There’s bike/stroller parking, a board-game library, knitting circle, and craft activity (making maracas) again this week too -here’s a look!
We’ll add video when we’re back at HQ.
“This is neighborhood at its finest!” exulted ANA president Joanie Jacobs.
8:27 PM: The concert just wrapped up; (added) here are the final three songs by Michael Pearsall and friends:
And here’s one of his solo songs from the first half-plus of the concert:
Joanie said they counted 400 people in the park. Next week’s band is Driftwood Drive and they’ll be down the street at Hamilton Viewpoint (6:30 pm July 30).

10:12 AM: Before hundreds of people ride, roll, march, and walk in the West Seattle Grand Parade, runners and walkers are on the route for the Float Dodger 5K, presented by West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) as a fundraiser for the West Seattle Food Bank. This year, more than 600 had registered as of a few minutes before the start on Hiawatha Playfield. This year, they took off in three waves – we recorded video of each wave’s start:
This year’s Float Dodger 5K announcer is Brian Callanan – who is on double duty today, as he’ll be announcing the parade too:
The first finishers are already in and an award ceremony is following – more on that later, as well as coverage of the parade, which heads southbound from California/Lander starting at 11 am!
10:30 AM: First two finishers – 18-year-old Mason Murison, in 16:52:
And 19-year-old Jane Williams in 17:54:
10:40 AM: Thanks for the photo! In case you missed the earlier mentions, and are surprised to see a large group of people walking together around West Seattle in the next few hours, it’s the second annual West Seattle Saunter, a 12-mile walk around the peninsula. All free, just for fun. More pics later!
2:20 PM: WSB contributing photojournalist Dave Gershgorn was one of those out sauntering this morning and sent photos – below, at the head of the line in the vest, is Holden, founder of the walk plus the original citywide Saunter:
We overheard a few saunterers talking to others here at the Info Booth – sounds like it was a perfect day for a mega-stroll.

It’s a memorable way to get to West Seattle Summer Fest on Sunday – the West Seattle Bike Connections “Little STP” ride! We just got the official announcement:
West Seattle Little STP Bike Ride

1318 Palm Ave SWIt’s time again to ride from Seattle Street to Portland Street in West Seattle!

We invite and welcome everyone including people of all ages, languages, ethnicities, genders, races, and abilities. Riders under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We will be riding from SW Seattle Street [North Admiral] to SW Portland Street [Gatewood], and back north to Summer Fest at the West Seattle Junction, for a fabulous finish-line party. After some time at the festival, participants can ride home independently, or ride with a leader back to Hamilton Viewpoint.
Our goal will be to stay together as a group. Be prepared for a moderately hilly route. There are a couple of hills that some may wish to walk up. We will regroup at the top of hills. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 2.7 at the Alaska Junction.
Check brakes and tires before leaving home. Arrive in time for 9:15 ride description and safety briefing. Must be present at the safety briefing to participate. Helmets required. No ear buds. Steady rain cancels. We will ride if there are just light showers.
Questions? You can ask ride leader Nick via [email protected]
The Blowout Heavies Brass Band is providing the soundtrack tonight at Highland Park Improvement Club‘s First Fridays gathering on the past-and-future HPIC site at 12th/Holden. We counted about 100 people having a great time, including everybody helping judge the 18 pies entered in the Bake-Off:
Flavors ranged from “plumberry” to chocolate pecan – right about now, they’re tallying votes and deciding who gets these:
Tonight’s First Fridays party had savory treats as well as sweet:
$7 got a plate in what was dubbed the “Bite of Southwest Seattle.” The party goes on until about 8:30 tonight:
All ages – there’s a little play area for kids too. Next First Fridays celebration: Friday, August 7.
That photo shows 150 or so of the walkers who joined in last year’s first-ever West Seattle Saunter. A few tipped us that the free mega-walk is returning this year, and organizer Holden has since sent us the announcement:
Do you like meeting new people? Do you enjoy exploring our beautiful city? Do you love walking? Then we have the event for you! The second annual West Seattle Saunter, about a 12-mile walk beginning at the West Seattle Taxi Pier and ending at West Seattle Summer Fest is happening July 11th, 2026! It is an amazing opportunity to spend time outdoors, see the city through a new lens, and build community! The West Seattle Saunter is completely free for participants and details, like the route and pace, are flexible. Join us for 2 miles, 6 miles, or the whole walk! Register and get more information here!
The walk is set to start at 8:45 am July 11, which is the second day of Summer Fest. It’s a spinoff of the Seattle Super Saunter (which happened on Memorial Day weekend).

The street party that’s under way right now on both sides of Roxbury, from the south block of Delridge Way southward on 16th to 100th, is called “Gather For Goals.” And while its centerpieces are four huge screens showing World Cup soccer matches, the “goals” it’s meant to celebrate are also those of the local community. That was the message of welcoming speakers who talked for a bit between two of the screens right before the Norway-France kickoff – King County Executive Girmay Zahilay, King County Local Services director Leon Richardson, Elliot Hills from White Center Pride, Chris Lampkin from County Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda‘s team, and King County Local Services’s Brent Champaco, all in our video:
White Center Pride is co-presenting this with King County. Even if you’re not that into soccer, it’s an opportunity to wander the street and check out businesses like Wolfpack Cellars (WSB sponsor), which has an outdoor canopy right next to one of the big screens:
If you have one or more kids in tow, detour into the Tim’s Tavern parking lot at 16th/98th – steps from two of the big screens – where you’ll find free bouncy houses. This is all on until 7 tonight, rain or shine (all we experienced while there was a bit of mist).
More backstory about the party is on this King County webpage (which also lists the matches they’re showing).

On this first weekday of summer, we’re checking in on some of the big West Seattle events ahead. That includes updates on the Admiral Neighborhood Association‘s concert series, Admiral Music in the Parks. We brought you the lineup announcement last month. But you’ll find more than music, as ANA’s Meagan Loftin explains in this update:
Less than a month until AMP: Admiral Music in the Parks returns for our first concert of the season!
In addition to a rockin’ music lineup, we’re happy to announce some returning and new offerings to amp up our concert series. Seattle Yarn is back this year hosting their weekly knitting circle at each concert and PCC Community Markets is also returning this year with snacks and information about the co-op. New this year, we’ll also have a board game library and a music-craft activity for kids next to the Admiral Neighborhood Association booth.
And if you’re planning to bike or stroll to the concerts, Alki Bike & Board is sponsoring a new valet-style attended bike and stroller corral at each park to make sustainable transportation an easier option for everyone. We’re excited for another great summer of concerts in the parks and we hope to see you there!
July 16th @ Belvedere Park: Steve Aliment and Annie O’Neill
July 23rd @ California Place Park: Michael Pearsall and Friends
