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:
