2026.6.3. Westin Run club + Chief Sealth High School Orchestra & Choir

6/3 Wednesday 6:30am. Global Running Day at Westin Seattle. I wasno't even aware of a global running day (first Wednesday in June), but I'm aware of the run every Wednesday at Westin. I'm waking up early these days due to jet lag. Decided to join the run. Today, the route goes to Olympic Sculpture Park, right by this new installation of Aiweiwei's Zodiac. After the run, there's a table of snacks and T-shirt set in the hotel lobby. Even got a large water bottle. Some random hotel guests came by and partook the freebies.

At 7:30pm, went to a community concert, where Chief Sealth High School Orchestra played side by side with Seattle Symphony. The school choir was also on stage. Program is gone from Seattle Symphony's website. Here it is:
