Seattle Mayor Ed Murray was a good sport, taking part in the sack races sponsored by Trader Joe's grocery during the annual Delridge Day event on Saturday Aug. 8.

SLIDESHOW: Delridge Day was a community celebration

From potato sack races to skateboard competitions to community booths and much more, Delridge Day on Aug. 8 brought the community together.

Mayor Ed Murray joined in the sack races, put on by Trader Joes, and Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole came by to be part of the SW Precinct Police Picnic. "The last time i did this was probably fifty years ago, right here in West Seattle," said the Mayor laughing.

The annual event featured live music from local bands, information booths from many local community organizations, a free backpack giveaway from Eastridge Church, food trucks, and more.

The VieWS planning committee acknowledged Festival Sponsor, Seattle City Light. They also wish to thank their Feature Sponsors: Nucor Steel, PNTA, Seattle Parks & Recreation, and Straight Blast Gym.
