Folklife, Seattle

I was able to experience the Northwest Folklife festival in Seattle over Memorial Day weekend. It is a free event, fully funded by donors and public donation. Various bands and artists perform at this festival, which lasts 3 days. For those of you who are familiar with Coachella, in Indio/Los Angeles, I would say this is a similar event. My favorite was USK, an electronica DJ from Japan. I experienced a very different kind of crowd here in Seattle. Not sure what to call it exactly, but it was a definite experience for me...

I was also able to muse the Fremont outdoor market place, filled with odds and ends and delicious food provided by various street vendors. I scored with this very vintage,antrhopolgie-looking dinnerware set... made in England!
