The annual West Seattle Thriftway easter egg hunt featuring (no kidding) 50,000 eggs full of goodies and prizes will start at 9:00 am and since the current forecast is for sunny skies you can expect an early crowd to gather at both entrances.

The store, at 4201 SW Morgan Street has been conducting the hunt since 1987 when owner Paul Kapioski took over.

A family event, kids aged 1 through 10 are encouraged to participate.

There are more than 100 eggs with special prizes sprinkled like game consoles and other toys throughout the bounty.
