This is a big weekend in West Seattle, with the annual street fair going on at The Junction. As the population here has swelled, the annual event evolved from a simple merchant's sidewalk sale in the 1980's (which I loved) to a bigger event called Westfest, and now the hugely popular Summerfest.
It's pretty much like any other street fair across the city, with bad food (sorry) and all the same vendors. Crowds are not John's thing, but I always walk down there to have a look around. The street in front of our house was already parked up last night.
This is followed by the West Seattle Grand Parade on July 19th. I found out yesterday that our Thursday ukulele group was invited to participate on short notice, but we still need to find a flatbed truck or float to haul us safely down California Avenue while we're strumming away. Stay tuned on that.
The brief period of cloudiness has passed, and the next week stretches ahead sunny and hot. Amanda, Tom and the girls are going backpacking on the Olympic Coast and should have excellent weather.
See you Monday.
