The K-town sheds, wrote Nancy Groce of the American Folklife Center, were “outstanding examples of folk architecture.”

The demonstration began in the morning at North SeaTac Park and was set to end in the evening at Golden Gardens Park, with stops in between, including Seattle Center, where the Northwest Folklife Festival was taking place.

The Northwest Folklife Festival, a free, community celebration of Pacific Northwest heritage in its 53rd year, continues through Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The focus of the 2024 festival is “Meraki,” which means doing something with passion, soul and love in Greek, according to Northwest Folklife’s announcement.

This year’s holiday weekend slate is especially heavy with piano man Billy Joel taking T-Mobile Park, the opening of Seattle Theatre Group’s new Remlinger Farms venue in Carnation, two-nighters with Sarah McLachlan at Chateau Ste. Michelle and dance music titan Illenium at the Gorge Amphitheatre and the 53rd annual Northwest Folklife Festival.
