A brand-new West Seattle St. Patrick?s Day event debuted this weekend ? the first-ever pets/people costume contest at The Celtic Swell on Alki. WSB contributing photojournalist Nick Adams was there to catch some of the contenders on camera. Above, that?s Zoey; next, the Lynns and their boxer:

Pub owners Gareth and Joleen Hughes? Siberian Huskies Finnegan, left, and Foley were of course on hand and wearing some green:

Eleven more scenes of green, after the jump:

Murphy the Great Dane was greeted by Clara Hills (center):

On the other end of the size spectrum, here?s Lulu the Chihuahua, who won ?Leprechaun Lookalike?:

Mini-Longhaired Dachshund Charlotte waited patiently in her ride:

Let?s not ignore the humans: Sean Shane-Kumler, below right, with wife Kathryn and their dog Knoah, won ?Not Dog Not Dog?:

Midway through the contest, at 3 pm Saturday, there was a toast to the official start of St. Patrick?s Day in Ireland (nine hours ahead of Seattle):

Then back to the pets-and-people photobooth, with Annie Allison of Studio A. That?s Mo Simon below with Shasta, left, and Walter, right:

Ready for a closeup, anyone? Ollie the French Bulldog was:

Meantime, Watson waited quite patiently:

As did Francis the St. Bernard:

Another human of note, though not a competitor ? a familiar face from The Junction at the microphone ? Lora Swift from Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor):

The Celtic Swell?s St. Patrick?s Day festivities continue on into tonight ? listed here on the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar.
