The crowds showed up for Delridge Day and reFresh Southwest on June 5 at the Delridge Community Center and Youngstown Cultural Arts Center on Delridge Way. There were a bevy of family events, kids activities and since the event merged the previously standalone West Seattle Sustainability Fair there were lots of exhibits on the environment, gardening, and recycling.

There were 55 exhibitors at the event, staged in the north parking lot of the center. DJ's and live music, and plenty of information to be shared between those working the event and people visiting.

King County Executive Dow Constantine walked through the event and took time to speak with the West Seattle Herald. We asked him how he's adjusting to his job. "It's more physically taxing than I thought it would be," he said, "this is my third event today, but I'm enjoying it." Is he having fun? "I wouldn't exactly call it fun but it's challenging and satisfying." What about those times he gets to work "in the shoes" of a county employee? "That is fun," he said, "but I have to chose another one coming up soon and I think this time it will be one where I can learn more."
