Thanks to Pam Roth for the dahlia photo! Here’s what’s happening today/tonight, mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:
WEST SEATTLE GLASS FLOAT HUNT, DAY 4: As noted here pre-hunt, no daily clues this year unless a float remains stubbornly unfound (and there HAVE been some clues as a result) – watch for the hand-blown floats all over West Seattle. As of midmorning today, 49 floats have been released and 30 have been found, according to the official website, which shows status when floats are found (provided the finder has used the special QR code).
