One of the most aspects of the Morgan Junction Festival last weekend on June 22 was the annual pet contest called the Bark of Morgan. This year's event was no exception with dogs of all shapes and sizes who showed up in the Washington Federal Bank parking lot to vie for Cutest dog, Best Trick and Best Owner/dog Lookalike.
The West Seattle Seattle Herald's Patrick Robinson served as "Bark Emcee" assisted by the amazing Deb Barker of the Morgan Junction Community Association, sponsors for the main event.
The Festival enjoyed great weather, featured a large number of local musicians, artwork, community information booths and this year, food trucks that were stationed along Graham Street, in the soon to be refurbished "Bridge" parking lot.
