The Summer Streets event on May 20 was more than a little soggy as a steady rain fell which obviously dampened the turnout but not the enthusiasm of the participants who showed up to work booths, play music, and even enjoy a half court basketball game. The event, organized by the Seattle Department of Transportation featured live music, lots of information and a way to enjoy Alki Beach without driving a car.
The game the Herald had a chance to see was part of a tournament called Battle on the Blacktop. That game was won by the Pirate Boys over Enemy of the State 7 - 6.
The full schedule included everything from painting watercolors (easy enough when it's dry out) to learning how to stand up paddle board with the crew from Alki Kayak.
