Can you find a hidden glass float?
Keep your eyes peeled in West Seattle starting Friday, as there will be a bunch of glass floats that are going to be scattered around the neighborhood for treasure hunters to find and keep. These pieces were created by Avalon Glassworks, and each one will have a QR code for you to scan to register that you’ve found the float. Once you’ve done that, it is yours to keep. This will also be a perfect excuse to get out and explore West Seattle, and the event organizers encourage you to check out some of the local businesses participating in float week…
