It feels like every hood in the city has a summer street fest. But as Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, West Seattle’s annual event is a three-day affair. This year, The Junction will fill with music stages, food and craft vendors, a beer garden, and a kids zone. And on Sunday during the fest, visitors can hit the farmer’s market to load up on fruits and veggies. There’s tons to do, but let me break it down by category.
