A Sunday of Blooms and Batteries
Sunday morning begins with the reliable bounty of the Farmers Market, but the day’s highlights extend far beyond fresh produce. Meanwhile, automotive innovation takes center stage at Ounces Taproom, where electric vehicle owners will gather for a scenic cruise along the Alki shoreline followed by an educational showcase of modern adventure trucks. The week draws to a competitive close on Monday evening. Trivia enthusiasts will congregate at the Skylark once more to test their mastery of obscure facts and visual puzzles during the neighborhood’s premiere multi-round quiz challenge
