The Westenders, West Seattle motor scooter club hosts what may be the largest scooter rally this year in Seattle that began Friday night, July 30 at 7:00 p.m. at Jack Block Park on Alki and runs through Sunday. Coined the "Tour di Mari 3: : Riding Down to Brighton" with a British/ mod theme, over 100 participants will enjoy three days of rides, music, food, and prizes. A raffle includes nearly $4,000 in assorted prizes, plus a restored Vespa P200 scooter valued at nearly $6,000.

"People have been buying tickets all spring and summer and the drawing is tomorrow at Woodland Park at the Picnic Area shelter 3 at about 6:30pm," said Bob Brown, "Prime Minister" of the club.

"After a performance by the Southwest Youth and Family Services does a Polynesian dance performance we're going to have a group ride to the Tiger Lounge off 4th Avenue where three bands will be playing," Brown said. "Tomorrow morning brunch at the Skylark Cafe, then a four-hour "water ride" to touch on Puget Sound, Lake Washington, Lake Union, a 75-mile ride. Sunday brunch at Café Revò and then a 'Great Seattle Photographer's ride' and stop at scenic vistas."

Café Revò owner Sofia Zadra Goff has a blue Vespa and is a big club fan.
