10:59 AM: The West Seattle Ukulele Players – who meet to jam every week – are the first musicians on the main stage at the 2026 Admiral Block Party, just wrapping up its first hour!

Bigger than ever! It’s free to attend but you can support the ANA via $10 prize-drawing tickets on sale at their both (right by West Wings).
On the other side of us is the PCC West Seattle booth, with free samples. Lots of coverage to come.
