We’re into hour three of day one at West Seattle Summer Fest already – and we’ve had sunshine, though the clouds are coming and going too. It’s not too hot, not too cold, just right. Kicking back has begun – earlier, we caught Dave and Dean from West 5, with Dean’s fiancee Quinn, at the Elliott Bay Brewing outdoor area:
It’s not all play and no work, though – as chair of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce board, Dave is currently pulling a shift in the Information Booth at California/Alaska, where we are embedded throughout the festival as well. Among the changes this year – food stands on both sides of Alaska:
Thinking about the food you cook at home – longtime WSB sponsor Dream Dinners is here, and if you place an order during the festival, you get a special salad bowl – at left is DD’s Leslie Thomson, with her visiting cousin:
And if you have any concerns about safety – no worries, the police are here:

When you come to Summer Fest, remember to check out the GreenLife zone down on the south end, presented by Sustainable West Seattle and West Seattle Nursery.

Want to find out about backyard cottages? Ncompass Cottage Company (WSB sponsor) is there too:
Remember there’s one main music stage this year, California near Genesee, where Ali Marcus was scheduled as the first act, 12:45 pm. There’s one exception – Caspar Babypants will be here at California/Alaska at 6:30 tonight. Much more coverage to come (and other news too) … we’ll be adding to this as the afternoon goes on.
