The 7th Annual Taste of West Seattle, a sampling of the best restaurants in West Seattle was jam packed with people there to taste gourmet offerings, although at times on tiny plates with even tinier forks. "I feel like I'm exercising just eating," said Lora Swift laughing. The event featured more than 50 food purveyors from restaurants to caterers, and more. All proceeds go to support West Seattle Helpline.
