The word on West Seattle is that once you live there, you will never move to another neighborhood in Seattle. Find out what all the fuss is about as KEXP celebrates Hood-to-Hood Day West Seattle! Join us this Friday, May 29, as we salute the beloved neighborhood, winners of last year's Hood-to-Hood Challenge, with a day of free music and fun!
From noon until 6PM, at the West Seattle Junction (on the scenic intersection of Alaska and California), there'll will be dancing in the streets with an incredible line-up of live music, starting at 1PM with a solo performance by John Danielle of The Mountain Goats (who play a sold-out show at the Showbox the next day).
