Last year, at the First Annual Sustainable West Seattle Festival, festival coordinators Dorothy Bosteder and Gary Lichtenstein carried matching bees to create a buzz in the crowd. The date this year for the event is May 23.
The date for the 2nd Annual Sustainable West Seattle Festival has been announced as Sunday, May 23 in the Alaska Junction.
Event organizer Scott Marlow is calling now for exhibitors and sponsors through March 23 from sustainably-minded organizations.
Last year, over 2,000 attendees visited the festival, where more than 60 exhibitors presented information about food, transportation, green building, and other sustainability topics. This year’s event features more interactive workshops and presentations.
Exhibitors at the 2008 festival included Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, MC Electric Vehicles, Solar Washington, West Seattle Nursery, Zipcar, Neighborhood House, Cedar Grove Composting, Seattle City Light.

Applications are evaluated individually while stressing a focus on the West Seattle community, the degree of the exhibit’s interactivity and educational emphasis, and the general fit with this year’s overall festival theme of “Resiliency.”
