Tell your neighbors, tell your friends! Sunday, May 19 is a party along Alki! This free event opens the city's largest public space - its streets - so people can walk, bike, roll, run, skip and shop - without having to watch out for cars! Participate in the West Seattle 5K Run/Walk in the morning, sponsored by West Seattle High School PTSA. The race starts at 9:20 a.m. Pre-registration is suggested. Stay for the party starting at 11 a.m.

What a great time it is going to be. The Alki Beach Creeps are joining forces with us to bring the largest costumed bike parade in West Seattle’s 111 year history. Skate Like a Girl is planning skateboard workshops; Hollow Earth Radio will be spinning tunes in-between live music; Coastal Boutique will have a t-shirt tye-dyeing station; Detective Cookie will have chess games for the kids; Alki Bike and Board will be repairing bikes; and the Alki Art Fair—West Seattle’s premier art and music showcase—is inviting local artists to join the fun.
