If you drive west, down Brandon Street in West Seattle, you eventually reach the end of the road. For a pig that came from The Swinery it was the end of the road too because for the 2nd year the Seaview neighborhood held a pig roast party with a 100 pound porcine specimen as the featured attraction.

The new tradition came about because of one neighbor's experience with the process, Sinisa Bjelic, who was born in Bosnia and has lived here three years was called on after the group began seeking a way to bring neighbors together with something unique.
That size pig will feed between 100 and 150 people.
Jason Henson, Cliff Low, and Sini Bjelic prepared the pig with apples, onions and other spices inside it. The Hawaiian theme inspired people's choices of attire and the food choices which included melon and other fruit.
The beer was supplied by Beer Junction and was Fremont Brewing.
The organizer, Shelly Kurtz said, "This year we got a bouncy house for the kids and it's great." Kurtz was happy to introduce Danelle Smit, from South Africa who has just arrived in West Seattle and will work as a nanny for the Kurtz family. "She's going to think that this is how all Americans get together!" she said laughing.
