The community came out to enjoy the warm summer weather, support local art and partake in some preliminary Summer Fest celebrations last night, Thursday July 9.

The Art walk takes place the second Thursday of every month from 6 to 9 p.m. in downtown West Seattle. However, in lieu of Summer Fest happening this weekend, there was additional food, performers and music.

While people migrated from business to business to view local art and socialize, the white tents started to rise setting up for the annual festival to start the following day.
