With the continuing support of The Seattle Police Foundation the Southwest Precinct Picnic will be back for the third consecutive year. The Seattle Police Department plans to make many officers and units available. Last year, they brought cars, a canine police officer, their mounted patrol, a Bomb Squad robot that was offering candy, and free ice cream and popcorn.
The event's music stage will feature a lineup of local live music and entertainment. Beginning at 11am with some rock & roll by Quarter Past 8. At noon the Ellis Brothers will take the stage to show off their jazz & improv skills.

The VieWS planning committee acknowledged Festival Sponsor, Seattle City Light. They also wish to thank their Feature Sponsors: Nucor Steel, PNTA, Seattle Parks & Recreation, and Straight Blast Gym.
The sponsorship and vendor fees not only support the festival but also allow VIEWS to give back to the community, continuing the tradition of donating a percentage of all fees to the ARC (Associated Recreational Council), which provides money to fund scholarships for Community Center classes at the Delridge Community Center.
