**West Seattle Summer Fest Wraps Up After Successful Weekend**
**WEST SEATTLE, WA –** The 2023 West Seattle Summer Fest concluded Sunday evening after a vibrant three-day run, drawing crowds with music, art, and community spirit. The West Seattle Blog (WSB) provided comprehensive coverage throughout the weekend, noting the final hours were filled with music from Massy Ferguson on the West Side Stage and a performance by local brass band Better As Brass.
Even as the festival was wrapping up, there was still time for political action. Volunteers with Washington Bus were encouraging young people to get involved in local politics by drumming up support for Seattle’s Democracy Voucher program.
The festival also showcased local artists, like Jody Wally of Rain City Clay. The festival crew began breakdown at 4:23 PM and aimed to have the streets reopened by 10 PM.
The festival’s political presence was highlighted by an appearance from mayoral candidate Joe Mallahan and a scheduled visit from incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell. Harrell attended the West Seattle Indivisible meeting in the Center for Active Living.
The West Seattle Blog team expressed gratitude to the community for their support and contributions throughout the weekend, especially navigating the event without their usual co-founder, Patrick Sand. WSB’s dedication to the community was thanked by local residents, and they were recognized for their careful coverage of the event’s details.
